Abstract

This paper presents our contribution to the RadSum23 shared task organized as part of the BioNLP 2023. We compared state-of-the-art generative language models in generating high-quality summaries from radiology reports. A two-stage fine-tuning approach was introduced for utilizing knowledge learnt from different datasets. We evaluated the performance of our method using a variety of metrics, including BLEU, ROUGE, Bertscore, CheXbert, and RadGraph. Our results revealed the potentials of different models in summarizing radiology reports and demonstrated the effectiveness of the two-stage fine-tuning approach. We also discussed the limitations and future directions of our work, highlighting the need for better understanding the architecture design’s effect and optimal way of fine-tuning accordingly in automatic clinical summarizations.
