Abstrakt: To classify sentences in cardiovascular German doctor's letters into eleven section categories, we used pattern-exploiting training, a prompt-based method for text classification in few-shot learning scenarios (20, 50 and 100 instances per class) using language models with various pre-training approaches evaluated on CARDIO:DE, a freely available German clinical routine corpus. Prompting improves results by 5-28% accuracy compared to traditional methods, reducing manual annotation efforts and computational costs in a clinical setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
