Researchers commonly use automated solutions such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems to extract clinical information from large volumes of unstructured data. However, text's poor semantic structure and domain-specific vocabulary can make it challenging develop a one-size-fits-all solution. Large Models (LLMs), OpenAI's Generative Pre-Trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3), offer promising solution for capturing standardizing information. This study evaluated the performance InstructGPT,...
