- Abstract: This paper describes Toronto Metropolitan University's participation in the TREC Clinical Trials Track for 2023. As part of the tasks, we utilize advanced natural language processing techniques and neural language models in our experiments to retrieve the most relevant clinical trials. We illustrate the overall methodology, experimental settings, and results of our implementation for the run submission as part of Team - V-TorontoMU.

The task focuses on the problem of matching eligible clinical trials to topics constituting a summary of a patient's admission notes.
We explore different ways of representing trials and topics using NLP techniques, and then use a common retrieval model to generate the ranked list of relevant trials for each topic.
The results from all our submitted runs are well above the median scores for all topics, but there is still plenty of scope for improvement.
