Abstract

Objectives: To analyse the content of publications within the medical Natural Language Processing (NLP) domain in 2022.

Methods: Automatic and manual preselection of publications to be reviewed, and selection of the best NLP papers of the year. Analysis of the important issues.

Results: Three best papers have been selected. We also propose an analysis of the content of the NLP publications in 2022, stressing on some of the topics.

Conclusion: The main trend in 2022 is certainly related to the availability of large language models, especially those based on Transformers, and to their use by non-NLP researchers. This leads to the democratization of the NLP methods. We also observe the renewal of interest to languages other than English, the continuation of research on information extraction and prediction, the massive use of data from social media, and the consideration of needs and interests of patients.

医学自然语言处理的 2022 年：语言模型的可用性是生物医学领域 NLP 民主化的一个步骤。

目标：分析 2022 年医学自然语言处理（NLP）领域的出版物内容：分析 2022 年医学自然语言处理（NLP）领域的出版物内容：方法：自动和人工预选待审查的出版物，并选出当年最好的 NLP 论文。分析重要问题：结果：选出了三篇最佳论文。我们还对2022年NLP出版物的内容进行了分析，并强调了其中的一些主题：2022 年的主要趋势无疑与大型语言模型的可用性有关，尤其是那些基于转换器的模型，以及非 NLP 研究人员对这些模型的使用。这导致了 NLP 方法的民主化。我们还注意到，人们对英语以外的语言重新产生了兴趣，对信息提取和预测的研究仍在继续，社交媒体数据的大量使用，以及对患者需求和利益的考虑。
