On building AI tools that supercharge physicians' thinking while keeping them in control

Thoughts on AI systems that can reason alongside users, rather than taking all reasoning over

vs. using Information Retrieval to improve LLMs

A popular technique for interacting with Large Language Models such as ChatGPT is Few-Shot Prompting: providing a few examples of the desired task as part of the prompt, effectively providing the model a guide for how to structure its responses. Recently, I’ve taken this framework of “providing some examples” to ChatGPT to a larger scale — on the scale of many files often spanning multiple…

Insights and considerations about the clinical applicability of LLMs, and the importance of domain knowledge in guiding these systems

Several years ago, I had the opportunity to spend a few hours learning Tabla from a senior disciple of the instrument.

Some brief, off-the-cuff thoughts around this tweet I came across a few weeks back, specifically regarding of how I utilize knowledge and context together in a clinical setting —
