A Comprehensive Benchmark Study on Biomedical Text Generation and Mining with ChatGPT

Abstract

In recent years, the development of natural language process (NLP) technologies and deep learning hardware has led to significant improvement in large language models(LLMs). The ChatGPT, the state-of-the-art LLM built on GPT-3.5, shows excellent capabilities in general language understanding and reasoning. Researchers also tested the GPTs on a variety of NLP related tasks and benchmarks and got excellent results. To evaluate the performance of ChatGPT on biomedical related tasks, this paper presents a comprehensive benchmark study on the use of ChatGPT for biomedical corpus, including article abstracts, clinical trials description, biomedical questions and so on. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrated the effectiveness and versatility of Chat-GPT in biomedical text understanding, reasoning and generation.
