Abstract

In this paper, we present our system applied in BioASQ 11b phase b. We showcase prompt engineering strategies and outline our experimental steps. Building upon the success of ChatGPT/GPT-4 in answer generation and the field of biology, we developed a system that utilizes GPT-4 to answer biomedical questions. The system leverages OpenAI’s ChatCompletions API and combines Prompt Engineering methods to explore various prompts. In addition, we also attempted to incorporate GPT-4 into our system from last year, which combines a BERT-based model and BERTScore. However, the standalone GPT-4 method outperformed this approach by a large margin. Ultimately, in our submission, we adopted what we believe to be the optimal prompts and achieved the highest scores in the second batch.
