Large Language Models in Medicine: from Benchmarks to Applications

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable potential in the medical domain, with specialized medical LLMs developed and applied across a variety of tasks. However, their effectiveness in medicine remains uncertain, and practical guidance for their deployment in specific applications is still limited.

FromText to Insights: The Role of Large Language Models in Biomedical NLP

The explosion of biomedical big data and information over the past decade has created new opportunities for discoveries that can improve the treatment and prevention of human diseases. As a result, the field of medicine is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by AI-powered analytical solutions. This talk will present the use of AI and large language models (LLMs) in recent natural language processing (NLP) research, highlighting their capabilities and limitations in various information-extraction tasks. We will also discuss the use of retrieval-augmented generation to improve standard LLMs in medicine and conclude with a case study on leveraging LLMs to assist and enhance efficiency in patient-to-trial matching.
