What happens in SAIL 2025 stays in SAIL 2025 -- except for these anonymized hot takes! ๐ฅ 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.

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 ๐๐

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:

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!

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
