MEDIQA-Chat @ ClinicalNLP 2023

MEDIQA-Chat Tasks @ ACL-ClinicalNLP 2023

Tasks

To promote research on automatic clinical note generation from doctor-patient conversations, we propose new shared tasks on the summarization of medical conversations for clinical note creation (Dialogue2Note) and the generation of synthetic doctor-patient conversations for relevant data creation/augmentation (Note2Dialogue):

1. Dialogue2Note Summarization. Given a conversation between a doctor and patient, participants are tasked with producing a clinical note summarizing the conversation with one or multiple note sections (e.g. Assessment, Past Medical History, Past Surgical History). 

1. • • The Dialogue2Note Summarization task will include two subtasks on the generation of specific sections (subtask A) and full notes (subtask B) from doctor-patient conversations.
        

2. Note2Dialogue Generation. Given a clinical note, participants are tasked with generating a synthetic doctor-patient conversation related to the information described in the full clinical note.
