KorMedMCQA : Multi-Choice Question Answering Benchmark for Korean Healthcare Professional Licensing Examinations
We introduce KorMedMCQA, the first Korean multiple-choice question answering (MCQA) benchmark derived from Korean healthcare professional licensing examinations, covering from the year 2012 to year 2023. This dataset consists of a selection of questions from the license examinations for doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, featuring a diverse array of subjects. We conduct baseline experiments on various large language models, including proprietary/open-source, multilingual/Korean-additional pretrained, and clinical context pretrained models, highlighting the potential for further enhancements. We make our data publicly available on HuggingFace and provide a evaluation script via LM-Harness, inviting further exploration and advancement in Korean healthcare environments.
Paper : https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.01469
Notice
In collaboration with Hugging Face, we have made the following updates to the KorMedMCQA dataset:
- Dentist Exam: Incorporated exam questions from 2021 to 2024.
- Updated Test Sets: Added the 2024 exam questions for the doctor, nurse, and pharmacist test sets.
- Few-Shot Split: Introduced a "few-shot" split, containing 5 shots from each validation set.
