In diesem Wintersemester wird die im letzten Jahr erfolgreich gestartete Vortragsreihe Medical Information Sciences fortgesetzt. Renommierte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen und Forschungsstandorte geben jeden Dienstag ab 17:30 Uhr Einblicke in aktuelle Fragestellungen und Anwendungsgebiete des breiten Forschungsfeldes Medical Information Sciences.

Ever since the publication of ChatGPT, natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLM) are popular topics everybody has at least heard about.

Interestingly, there was not much development and interest in the German clinical community until this recent development (same as digitalisation in general). Now, everybody wants to be the first in utilising this (more or less) new technique. However, most of the datasets and models available are focused on English and the adaption to German or other languages and dialects is not a trivial task.

This talk will give an overview about the challenges and possible solutions in German clinical language processing, as well as the potentials and risks of recent developments in NLP research.
