I just posted a new article on how to work around error: 500 exceptions when using #googlegemini API in python: kentmccannmd.com/resolving-goog…

Is it standard practice for conferences to not publish a list of speakers/presenters along with the names of the presentations?

Kent McCann, MD Reposted

It's not necessarily an either/or question: LLMs are great for prototyping with no data, and you can then use them to create data for task-specific language models that are more accurate, much smaller and faster, and that you can run privately and efficiently in-house!

This is what I am wondering about, too. @spacy_io, any guide on when to use spacy and when to use LLMs, e.g. for classification?

Anyone familiar with #medspacy? Need some help using the DocConsumer on a previously processed docs object while tracking which doc each item in the resulting dataframe comes from.

RAG vs. Fine-Tuning Cool report discussing the tradeoff between RAG and fine-tuning when using LLMs like Llama 2 and GPT-4. It performs a detailed analysis and highlights insights when applying the pipelines on an agricultural dataset. Here is a figure showing the pipeline…

2024: the year anyone can write programs thanks to AI. Some of the coolest ideas are going to come from hobbyists with no coding background.

This morning I created a working SQL database from scratch and coded the JavaScript to fetch the data from a web form I created yesterday, to automate creating PDF documents with python. I’m a non technical person with no experience but it works🤯

We shouldn’t wait for corporations to dictate how #AI can alleviate burdensome administrative tasks in medicine. We should discover how ourselves.

Listen to this podcast if you’re trying to learn how transformers (and LLMs like GPT) work It’s technical, but they break it down well. @superdatasci superdatascience.com/podcast/techni…

Google, using a fine tuned PaLM-2 model with self-generated training dialogue and Chain-of-Reasoning online inference, outperformed PCPs in diagnosis, and on quality of history taking & communication skills. #AIinMedicine arxiv.org/abs/2401.05654

Great use of new custom GPTs. We’re going to see some major changes to medical education over the next few years.

Med Students!🚀 I made a ChatGPT tool to help with USMLE studying. It is called "Anki QuickCard". Just screenshot a question from UWrld, AMBOSS, etc, paste into the chat, & it automatically generates 2 Anki cards + key points instantly. Its saved me so much time. #MedTwitter

This @JAMAPediatrics article is making some news headlines recently: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap… And the headlines are catchy. They're all some variation of "GPT missed 80% of diagnoses in pediatric cases" But there are a few things worth noting here. •This study used GPT 3.5,…

There's a huge benefit for LLMs in healthcare that I don't see anyone talking about: converting unstructured data (such as written notes) into structured formats. In a single prompt, ChatGPT converted a free-text RoS into this JSon representation. #MedTwitter #AI

Almost 1/3 of academic physicians report "moderate" or higher intention to leave their current institution within the next 2 years. Burnout and lack of professional fulfillment were two associated factors. We need serious change in academic medicine.
