An attempt to estimate primary diseases from symptoms and findings using open domain question answering model

Abstract

In this study, we attempted to estimate primary diseases from symptoms and findings using open domain question answering model that considers symptoms and findings as questions and primary diseases inferred from symptoms and findings as answers, and we validated the effectiveness of the model for medical care. The inference results from our model resulted in a maximum Exact Match of 49.53 for the test data. In addition, we also investigated the applicability of the model to answer the National Examination for doctors.
