Abstract

Recently proposed pre-trained language models can be easily fine-tuned to a wide range of downstream tasks. However, fine-tuning requires a large training set. This PhD project introduces novel natural language processing (NLP) use cases in the healthcare domain where obtaining a large training dataset is difficult and expensive. To this end, we propose data-efficient algorithms to fine-tune NLP models in low-resource settings and validate their effectiveness. We expect the outcomes of this PhD project could contribute to the NLP research and low-resource application domains.
