This notebook is a small (work-in-progress) exploration of OpenAI GPT-3 abilities to perform various Natural Language Processing tasks in the clinical domain, on patient medical records.
These include:
If you have any comments or additions, please feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @samarthrawal, via email (in my GitHub profile), or feel free to submit a PR with any interesting findings!
Some notes:
- This is meant to just be a high-level exploration of possible capabilities -- several of these results are cherry-picked in the sense that they required a couple runs/reformulating of the prompt.
- This README file is basically the Jupyter Notebook in this repository with some small (mostly formatting-related) changes.
- If you play around with the notebook, make sure submitting queries to the OpenAI API meets the data use agreement for whatever data you are using.
