3/ Then came the LLMs 🤖✨ GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini, Llama 3.1 🦙, Mixtral-8x7B. Clear winner: LLMs by far 🚀 To validate externally, we labeled MIMIC notes 📚 and published theses annotations so others can use them too: 🔗 https://t.co/IQfb9Zvv0K Paper code:

2/ Most studies lean on structured data (ICD codes 📊) to capture comorbidities. We tested 10 thresholds → decent performance, but not perfect. Next: classic NLP 📝 6 bag-of-words classifiers (NB, lasso, ridge, decision tree 🌳, random forest 🌲, SVM). Results? Also not bad!

1/ What started as a “hey, wouldn’t it be cool…” 💡 side project turned into a full study on how to identify immunocompromised patients. Gold standard = research coordinators immunocompromised labels ✅ Everything else tested against that. 🔗

We found striking variability: clinician-educators 👩‍🏫 often received larger offers than physician-scientists 🔬, and both non-clinical FTE ⏱️ and startup packages 💼 were all over the map. Our preprint is here 📄:

During my own job search, I was struck by how wildly academic offers vary—from $0 startup 😬 to multi-million-dollar packages 💰. Inspired by online datasets (ex: https://t.co/dyNgeECahJ), we surveyed PCCM physicians about their offers 📊.
