ObjectiveNamed Entity Recognition (NER) and Biomedical Entity Linking (BEL) are essential for transforming unstructured Electronic Health Records (EHRs) into structured information. However, tools for these tasks are limited in non-English biomedical texts such as Dutch and Italian. This study investigates the use of prompt-based learning with Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform multilingual NER and BEL using minimal domainspecific data, while addressing annotation preservation during corpus...
