This study demonstrates the application of the SOLAR Instruct model in zero-shot and few-shot settings to address safe biomedical natural language inference for clinical trials. By focusing on tailored prompting rather than fine-tuning, the team achieved a consistency score of 0.72, though error analysis highlights the model's reliance on heuristics for semantic-preserving changes. The work offers critical insights into leveraging large language models for specific clinical domains without additional training overhead.
UniBuc at SemEval-2024 Task 2: Tailored Prompting with Solar for Clinical NLI
arXiv:2610.00408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper describes the approach of the UniBuc team in tackling the SemEval 2024 Task 2: Safe Biomedical Natural Language Inference for Clinical Trials. We used SOLAR Instruct, without any fine-tuning, while focusing on input manipulation and tailored prompting. By customizing prompts for individual CTR sections, in both zero-shot and few-shots settings, we managed to achieve a consistency score of 0.72, ranking 14th in the leaderboard. Our thorough error analysis revealed that our model has a tendency to take shortcuts and rely on simple heuristics, especially when dealing with semantic-preserving changes.
