I come up with new ways to try to get computers to understand people. So far they just think we're jerks.

How do large language models(LLMs) perform on out-of-distribution health datasets? Do tropical and infectious diseases serve as an out-of-distribution case to test LLMs? Does performance demonstrate potential use for global health surveillance? Check out our blog to learn more🦟

Today we announce TRINDs, a dataset and benchmarking pipeline that uses synthetic personas to train and optimize performance of LLMs for tropical and infectious diseases, which are out-of-distribution for most models. Learn more → https://t.co/R1PFhQ0c8R

Cardiotocography (CTG) is a technique used to monitor fetal well-being. Today we describe how ML models can assess CTGs to predict measures of fetal well-being to potentially assist healthcare providers, reducing burden & improving fetal outcomes. https://t.co/9gXdKFsBhc

Excited to share that our paper on a toolbox for surfacing health equity harms and biases in large language models has been published in Nature Medicine. This work presents datasets for bias assessment and compares health equity expert ratings and clinician ratings. Check it out!

The @icmlconf 2024 Ethics Chairs, @KLdivergence and @DrLaurenOR, wrote a blog about the ethics review. Helpful for all authors and reviewers at ICML to better understand the process! https://t.co/OnkunUcmCg . . .

We have been receiving a few questions about the @icmlconf #ICML2024 Impact Statement in submissions, so made a short post about it here: https://t.co/E7dZqpcvLw Hopefully this is helpful to people trying to understand whether to include anything in this section.

Perhaps the Manhattan Project, and WW2, are not really inspirational reasons to become a physicist? Also it’s frightening that the SN is what inspired our tech founders. Entitled white guys who lack empathy can make lots of money? I suppose that tracks…

i was hoping that the oppenheimer movie would inspire a generation of kids to be physicists but it really missed the mark on that. let's get that movie made! (i think the social network managed to do this for startup founders.)
