LLMs and Topic Modeling Enhance Analysis of Cancer Patient Experiences

A new research paper explores the use of embedding-based topic modeling and Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze patient experiences in cancer care. The study evaluated BERTopic and Top2Vec for summarizing individual interviews, finding BERTopic to be more effective. When combined with LLMs like GPT-4 for topic labeling and using clinically oriented embedding models such as BioClinicalBERT, the approach demonstrated improved precision and interpretability. The findings suggest that this pipeline can enhance healthcare workflows by providing insights from patient narratives. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates how LLMs and topic modeling can extract valuable insights from patient narratives, potentially improving healthcare communication and patient-centered care.
