• Abstract: Document screening is a central task within Evidenced Based Medicine, which is a clinical discipline that supplements scientific proof to back medical decisions. Given the recent advances in DL (Deep Learning) methods applied to Information Retrieval tasks, I propose a DL document classification approach with BERT or PubMedBERT embeddings and a DL similarity search path using SBERT embeddings to reduce physicians' tasks of screening and classifying immense amounts of documents to answer clinical queries. I test and evaluate the retrieval effectiveness of my DL strategy on the 2017 and 2018 CLEF eHealth collections. I find that the proposed DL strategy works, I compare it to the recently successful BM25 plus RM3 model, and conclude that the suggested method accomplishes advanced retrieval performance in the initial ranking of the articles with the aforementioned datasets, for the CLEF eHealth Technologically Assisted Reviews in Empirical Medicine Task.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown great potential in the biomedical domain with the advancement of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) Existing retrieval-augmented approaches face challenges in addressing diverse queries and documents, particularly for medical knowledge queries. We propose Self-Rewarding Tree Search (SeRTS) based on Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and a self-rewarding paradigm.

  The current state of the art uses the final title of the review as a query to rank the documents using BERT-based neural rankers. In this paper, we explore alternative sources of queries for prioritising screening, such as the Boolean query used to retrieve the documents to be screened and queries generated by instruction-based large-scale language models such as ChatGPT and Alpaca. Our best approach is not only viable based on the information available at the time of screening, but also has similar effectiveness to the final title.

  Unstructured clinical text in EHRs contains crucial information for applications including decision support, trial matching, and retrospective research. Recent work has applied BERT-based models to clinical information extraction and text classification, given these models' state-of-the-art performance in other NLP domains. In this work, we propose a novel fine-tuning approach called SnipBERT. Instead of using entire notes, SnipBERT identifies crucial snippets and feeds them into a truncated BERT-based model in a hierarchical manner.
