Neural Network Transformer Architecture in Training a Large Language Model (LLM) for Accessing Information on Medication Use

Elisdete Maria Santos de Jesus of Universidade Estadual de Campinas in Brazil will train an LLM to read Brazilian medicine package leaflets and generate accurate, up-to-date summaries of how to use the medicine that is easier to understand for patients who take the medicine and for healthcare professionals who prescribe, dispense, and administer it. They will do a literature review, including articles in English and Portuguese, to better understand the types of information in leaflets and how understandable it is to users of the medicine. Subsequently, medicine leaflet information will be collected, processed, and used to train an LLM to create summaries in plain language, after which the summaries will be evaluated for their quality. The trained LLM could be used to help develop additional health education tools.
