A comparative study of large language model-based zero-shot inference and task-specific supervised classification of breast cancer pathology reports

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Although supervised machine learning is popular for information extraction from clinical notes, creating large annotated datasets requires extensive domain expertise and is time-consuming. Meanwhile, large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated promising transfer learning capability. In this study, we explored whether recent LLMs could reduce the need for large-scale data annotations.
