• Abstract: We apply deep learning-based language models to the task of patient cohort retrieval (CR) with the aim to assess their efficacy. The task of CR requires the extraction of relevant documents from the electronic health records (EHRs) on the basis of a given query. Given the recent advancements in the field of document retrieval, we map the task of CR to a document retrieval task and apply various deep neural models implemented for the general domain tasks. In this paper, we propose a framework for retrieving patient cohorts using neural language models without the need of explicit feature engineering and domain expertise. We find that a majority of our models outperform the BM25 baseline method on various evaluation metrics.

  We propose Corpus Retrieval and Augmentation for Fine-Tuning (CRAFT), a method for generating synthetic datasets. We use large-scale public web-crawled corpora and similarity-based document retrieval to find other relevant human-written documents. We demonstrate that CRAFT can efficiently generate large-scale task-specific training datasets for four diverse tasks.

  We show that multi-pass T5-based text-to-text generative models exhibit better generalization across exam modalities compared to approaches that employ BERT-based task-specific classification layers. We then develop methods that reduce the inference cost of the model, making large-scale corpus processing more feasible for clinical applications.

  We introduce CAPR, a rule-based self-supervision objective for training Transformer language models for domain-specific passage matching. We apply our objective in four Transformer-based architectures: Contextual Document Vectors, Bi-, Poly- and Cross-encoders. We report that CAPR outperforms strong baselines in the retrieval of domain-specific passages and effectively generalizes across rule-based and human-labeled passages.
