The use of electronic health records (EHRs) for clinical risk prediction is on the rise. However, in many practical settings, the limited availability of task-specific EHR data can restrict the application of standard machine learning pipelines. In this study, we investigate the potential of leveraging language models (LMs) as a means to incorporate supplementary domain knowledge for improving the performance of various EHR-based risk prediction tasks.

This study aims to evaluate the utility of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare, focusing on their applications in enhancing patient care through improved diagnostic, decision-making processes, and as ancillary tools for healthcare professionals.

To investigate approaches of reasoning with large language models (LLMs) and to propose a new prompting approach, ensemble reasoning, to improve medical question answering performance with refined reasoning and reduced inconsistency.

Investigate the use of advanced natural language processing models to streamline the time-consuming process of writing and revising scholarly manuscripts.

Precise literature recommendation and summarization are crucial for biomedical professionals. While the latest iteration of generative pretrained transformer (GPT) incorporates 2 distinct modes-real-time search and pretrained model utilization-it encounters challenges in dealing with these tasks. Specifically, the real-time search can pinpoint some relevant articles but occasionally provides fabricated papers, whereas the pretrained model excels in generating well-structured summaries but struggles to cite specific sources. In response, this study introduces RefAI [...]

To investigate the demonstration in large language models (LLMs) for biomedical relation extraction. This study introduces a framework comprising three types of adaptive tuning methods to assess their impacts and effectiveness.

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable generalization and across diverse tasks, leading individuals to increasingly use them as personal assistants due to their emerging reasoning capabilities. Nevertheless, a notable obstacle emerges when including numerical/temporal data into these prompts, such as data sourced from wearables or electronic health records. LLMs employ tokenizers in their input that break down text into smaller units. However, tokenizers are not designed to represent numerical [...]

This paper aims to address the challenges in abstract screening within systematic reviews (SR) by leveraging the zero-shot capabilities of large language models (LLMs).

The study developed framework that leverages an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) to enable clinicians to ask plain-language questions about a patient's entire echocardiogram report history. This approach is intended to streamline the extraction of clinical insights from multiple echocardiogram reports, particularly in patients with complex cardiac diseases, thereby enhancing both patient care and research efficiency.
