SPEER: Sentence-Level Planning of Long Clinical Summaries via Embedded Entity Retrieval

no code implementations4 Jan 2024 Griffin Adams, Jason Zucker, Noémie Elhadad

To increase entity coverage, we train a smaller, encoder-only model to predict salient entities, which are treated as content-plans to guide the LLM.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Flexible Survival Densities with Importance Sampling

no code implementations3 Nov 2023 Mert Ketenci, Shreyas Bhave, Noémie Elhadad, Adler Perotte

We propose a survival analysis approach which eliminates the need to tune hyperparameters such as mixture assignments and bin sizes, reducing the burden on practitioners.

A Coreset-based, Tempered Variational Posterior for Accurate and Scalable Stochastic Gaussian Process Inference

no code implementations2 Nov 2023 Mert Ketenci, Adler Perotte, Noémie Elhadad, Iñigo Urteaga

We present a novel stochastic variational Gaussian process ($\mathcal{GP}$) inference method, based on a posterior over a learnable set of weighted pseudo input-output points (coresets).

From Sparse to Dense: GPT-4 Summarization with Chain of Density Prompting

no code implementations8 Sep 2023 Griffin Adams, Alexander Fabbri, Faisal Ladhak, Eric Lehman, Noémie Elhadad

We conduct a human preference study on 100 CNN DailyMail articles and find that that humans prefer GPT-4 summaries that are more dense than those generated by a vanilla prompt and almost as dense as human written summaries.

Generating EDU Extracts for Plan-Guided Summary Re-Ranking

1 code implementation28 May 2023 Griffin Adams, Alexander R. Fabbri, Faisal Ladhak, Kathleen McKeown, Noémie Elhadad

Similarly, on 1k samples from CNN / DM, we show that prompting GPT-3 to follow EDU plans outperforms sampling-based methods by 1. 05 ROUGE-2 F1 points.

What are the Desired Characteristics of Calibration Sets? Identifying Correlates on Long Form Scientific Summarization

1 code implementation12 May 2023 Griffin Adams, Bichlien H Nguyen, Jake Smith, Yingce Xia, Shufang Xie, Anna Ostropolets, Budhaditya Deb, Yuan-Jyue Chen, Tristan Naumann, Noémie Elhadad

Summarization models often generate text that is poorly calibrated to quality metrics because they are trained to maximize the likelihood of a single reference (MLE).

A Meta-Evaluation of Faithfulness Metrics for Long-Form Hospital-Course Summarization

no code implementations7 Mar 2023 Griffin Adams, Jason Zucker, Noémie Elhadad

To better understand the limitations of abstractive systems, as well as the suitability of existing evaluation metrics, we benchmark faithfulness metrics against fine-grained human annotations for model-generated summaries of a patient's Brief Hospital Course.

Learning to Revise References for Faithful Summarization

1 code implementation13 Apr 2022 Griffin Adams, Han-Chin Shing, Qing Sun, Christopher Winestock, Kathleen McKeown, Noémie Elhadad

In real-world scenarios with naturally occurring datasets, reference summaries are noisy and may contain information that cannot be inferred from the source text.

Assessing Phenotype Definitions for Algorithmic Fairness

no code implementations10 Mar 2022 Tony Y. Sun, Shreyas Bhave, Jaan Altosaar, Noémie Elhadad

While there are multiple potential sources of bias when constructing phenotype definitions which may affect their fairness, it is not standard in the field of phenotyping to consider the impact of different definitions across subgroups of patients.

A generative, predictive model for menstrual cycle lengths that accounts for potential self-tracking artifacts in mobile health data

1 code implementation24 Feb 2021 Kathy Li, Iñigo Urteaga, Amanda Shea, Virginia J. Vitzthum, Chris H. Wiggins, Noémie Elhadad

Our model offers several advantages: 1) accounting explicitly for self-tracking artifacts yields better prediction accuracy as likelihood of skipping increases; 2) because it is a generative model, predictions can be updated online as a given cycle evolves, and we can gain interpretable insight into how these predictions change over time; and 3) its hierarchical nature enables modeling of an individual's cycle length history while incorporating population-level information.

Zero-Shot Clinical Acronym Expansion via Latent Meaning Cells

1 code implementation29 Sep 2020 Griffin Adams, Mert Ketenci, Shreyas Bhave, Adler Perotte, Noémie Elhadad

We introduce Latent Meaning Cells, a deep latent variable model which learns contextualized representations of words by combining local lexical context and metadata.

Towards Patient Record Summarization Through Joint Phenotype Learning in HIV Patients

no code implementations9 Mar 2020 Gal Levy-Fix, Jason Zucker, Konstantin Stojanovic, Noémie Elhadad

In this paper, we focus our experiments on assessing the learned phenotypes and their relatedness as learned from a specific patient population.

Machine Learning and Visualization in Clinical Decision Support: Current State and Future Directions

no code implementations6 Jun 2019 Gal Levy-Fix, Gilad J. Kuperman, Noémie Elhadad

Heretofore, there has not been a review of ways in which research in machine learning and other types of data-driven techniques can contribute effectively to clinical care and the types of support they can bring to clinicians.
