Good news! CPH's @amalaa.bsky.social and colleagues @roxanadaneshjou.bsky.social and Tom Harvitgsen have received a grant from the NIH Director's office for work on participatory mutimodal AI and editable foundation models to improve diagnosis and tx. @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social
What happens in SAIL 2025 stays in SAIL 2025 -- except for these anonymized hot takes! π₯ Jotted down 17 de-identified quotes on AI and medicine from medical executives, journal editors, and academics in off-the-record discussions in Puerto Rico

Real world data (RWD) analyses need diverse expertise in medicine/stats/causality. As a result, RWD causal analysis is slow and prone to error. AI tools can help.

In Poster Session 4 (4:30 pm - 7:30 pm PST), Lars van der Laan will present our work on combining model calibration and prediction intervals by integrating Venn-Abers into conformal prediction.
If you're attending #NeurIPS2024 be sure to stop by our lab's posters today!
In Poster Session 3 (11 AM - 2 PM PST), Frances Dean will present our work on learning physics-based models of cardiac hemodynamics using non-invasive data to simulate disease and treatment outcomes.
In our third CPH 290 lecture, we hosted the CTO and co-founder of OpenEvidence, one of the most widely used AI-based medical search platforms. He shared how his team uses LLMs + other tools to enhance the visualization, presentation and synthesis of clinical evidence.

I'm recruiting PhD students for Fall 2025! CS PhD Deadline: Dec. 15th.
I work on safe/reliable ML and causal inference, motivated by healthcare applications.
Beyond myself, Johns Hopkins has a rich community of folks doing similar work. Come join us!
Congratulations ππ
Probably should be making pies, but itβs much more fun to blog about calibration.
This one gets into more practical issues w/recently proposed solutions like multicalibration, discussing results from a recent empirical evaluation

In the second lecture of CPH 290, @jameszou.bsky.social gave an overview of the evaluation practices and regulatory landscape of medical AI. We posted the lecture on Youtube:

Would love to be added. Thanks!
It's tough to gain visibility as a young researcher, and it's job market season! Are you a theoretical computer science PhD/postdoc on the job market?
I don't have a crazy juge audience but I'll try to help a bit: fill this form, and I'll tweet your pitch and info!

Would love to be included. Thanks!
Most clinical AI models are only evaluated for accuracy in retrospective datasets w/o real-world evaluation of clinical utility. In the the first lecture of our CPH 290 class, Julian Hong (UCSF) discussed a UCSF RCT of AI-driven risk prediction in radiotherapy acute care.

There have been a few studies on a larger RCT that looked more deeply into automation neglect/bias in human-AI interactions in radiology (though no LLMs were involved in the treatment arm): www.nature.com/articles/s41... , www.nber.org/papers/w31422
Hello BlueSky world! π¦ We're recruiting PhD students at UC Berkeley and UCSF!
