EMGLLM: Data-to-Text Alignment for Electromyogram Diagnosis Generation with Medical Numerical Data Encoding

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Electromyography (EMG) tables are crucial for diagnosing muscle and nerve disorders, and advancing the automation of EMG diagnostics is significant for improving medical efficiency.EMG tables contain extensive continuous numerical data, which current Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle to interpret effectively.To address this issue, we propose EMGLLM, a data-to-text model specifically designed for medical examination tables.EMGLLM employs the EMG Alignment Encoder to simulate the process that doctors compare test values with reference values, aligning the data into word embeddings that reflect health degree.Additionally, we construct ETM, a dataset comprising 17,250 real cases and their corresponding diagnostic results, to support medical data-to-text tasks.Experimental results on ETM demonstrate that EMGLLM outperforms various baseline models in understanding EMG tables and generating highquality diagnoses, which represents an effective paradigm for automatic diagnosis generation from medical examination table.
