In this study, we investigate the potential of large language models (LLMs) to complement biomedical knowledge graphs in the training of semantic models for the biomedical and clinical domains.

The study highlights the potential of large language models, specifically GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, in processing complex clinical data and extracting meaningful information with minimal training data. By developing and refining prompt-based strategies, we can significantly enhance the models' performance, making them viable tools for clinical NER tasks and possibly reducing the reliance on extensive annotated datasets.

The rapid expansion of biomedical literature necessitates automated techniques to discern relationships between biomedical concepts from extensive free text. Such techniques facilitate the development of detailed knowledge bases and highlight research deficiencies. The LitCoin Natural Language Processing (NLP) challenge, organized by the National Center for Advancing Translational Science, aims to evaluate such potential and provides a manually annotated corpus for methodology development and benchmarking.

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.

Information retrieval (IR, also known as search) systems are ubiquitous in modern times. How does the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI), based on large language models (LLMs), fit into the IR process?

To examine whether comfort with the use of ChatGPT in society differs from comfort with other uses of AI in society and to identify whether this comfort and other patient characteristics such as trust, privacy concerns, respect, and tech-savviness are associated with expected benefit of the use of ChatGPT for improving health.

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 [...]

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.

To assess the performance of large language models (LLMs) for zero-shot disambiguation of acronyms in clinical narratives.

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.
