Evaluating Large Language Models on a Highly-specialized Topic, Radiation Oncology Physics [PDF]

, 2023
We present the first study to investigate Large Language Models (LLMs) in answering radiation oncology physics questions. Because popular exams like AP Physics, LSAT, and GRE have large test-taker populations and ample test preparation resources in circulation, they may not allow for accurately assessing the true potential of LLMs.
