Open (Clinical) LLMs are Sensitive to Instruction Phrasings

1 code implementation12 Jul 2024 Alberto Mario Ceballos Arroyo, Monica Munnangi, Jiuding Sun, Karen Y. C. Zhang, Denis Jered McInerney, Byron C. Wallace, Silvio Amir

Instruction-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) can perform a wide range of tasks given natural language instructions to do so, but they are sensitive to how such instructions are phrased.

Towards Reducing Diagnostic Errors with Interpretable Risk Prediction

no code implementations15 Feb 2024 Denis Jered McInerney, William Dickinson, Lucy C. Flynn, Andrea C. Young, Geoffrey S. Young, Jan-Willem van de Meent, Byron C. Wallace

In this work we propose a method to use LLMs to identify pieces of evidence in patient EHR data that indicate increased or decreased risk of specific diagnoses; our ultimate aim is to increase access to evidence and reduce diagnostic errors.

Leveraging Generative AI for Clinical Evidence Summarization Needs to Ensure Trustworthiness

no code implementations19 Nov 2023 Gongbo Zhang, Qiao Jin, Denis Jered McInerney, Yong Chen, Fei Wang, Curtis L. Cole, Qian Yang, Yanshan Wang, Bradley A. Malin, Mor Peleg, Byron C. Wallace, Zhiyong Lu, Chunhua Weng, Yifan Peng

Evidence-based medicine promises to improve the quality of healthcare by empowering medical decisions and practices with the best available evidence.

Retrieving Evidence from EHRs with LLMs: Possibilities and Challenges

1 code implementation8 Sep 2023 Hiba Ahsan, Denis Jered McInerney, Jisoo Kim, Christopher Potter, Geoffrey Young, Silvio Amir, Byron C. Wallace

Our method entails tasking an LLM to infer whether a patient has, or is at risk of, a particular condition on the basis of associated notes; if so, we ask the model to summarize the supporting evidence.

Automatically Summarizing Evidence from Clinical Trials: A Prototype Highlighting Current Challenges

no code implementations7 Mar 2023 Sanjana Ramprasad, Denis Jered McInerney, Iain J. Marshal, Byron C. Wallace

We present TrialsSummarizer, a system that aims to automatically summarize evidence presented in the set of randomized controlled trials most relevant to a given query.

CHiLL: Zero-shot Custom Interpretable Feature Extraction from Clinical Notes with Large Language Models

no code implementations23 Feb 2023 Denis Jered McInerney, Geoffrey Young, Jan-Willem van de Meent, Byron C. Wallace

We propose CHiLL (Crafting High-Level Latents), an approach for natural-language specification of features for linear models.

That's the Wrong Lung! Evaluating and Improving the Interpretability of Unsupervised Multimodal Encoders for Medical Data

no code implementations12 Oct 2022 Denis Jered McInerney, Geoffrey Young, Jan-Willem van de Meent, Byron C. Wallace

We compare alignments from a state-of-the-art multimodal (image and text) model for EHR with human annotations that link image regions to sentences.

Kronecker Factorization for Preventing Catastrophic Forgetting in Large-scale Medical Entity Linking

no code implementations11 Nov 2021 Denis Jered McInerney, Luyang Kong, Kristjan Arumae, Byron Wallace, Parminder Bhatia

Elastic Weight Consolidation is a recently proposed method to address this issue, but scaling this approach to the modern large models used in practice requires making strong independence assumptions about model parameters, limiting its effectiveness.

Query-Focused EHR Summarization to Aid Imaging Diagnosis

no code implementations9 Apr 2020 Denis Jered McInerney, Borna Dabiri, Anne-Sophie Touret, Geoffrey Young, Jan-Willem van de Meent, Byron C. Wallace

We propose and evaluate models that extract relevant text snippets from patient records to provide a rough case summary intended to aid physicians considering one or more diagnoses.
