A number with no recorded reason may end up deciding for a patient

Transparency in artificial intelligence has become a question of provenance. Provenance tells you where a piece of content came from; it does not tell you why what it asserts was decided.

When silence is safer: a review and decision-theoretic framework for LLM abstention in healthcare

Large language models (LLMs) are designed to generate answers to user prompts, which often drives them to respond even when uncertainty is high, information is incomplete, or a refusal would be more appropriate. In healthcare, this tendency can be dangerous: confidently stated but inaccurate medical advice can cause significant harm, making the ability to abstain

Advancing regulatory variant effect prediction with AlphaGenome

🔘 Paper page: nature.com/articles/s41586-025-10014-0 Abstract Deep learning models that predict functional genomic measurements from DNA sequences are powerful tools for deciphering the genetic regulatory code. Existing methods involve a trade-off between input sequence length and prediction resolution, thereby limiting their modality scope and performance1,2,3,4,5. We present AlphaGenome, a unified DNA sequence model, which takes as

External validation is not a bureaucratic detail

Systems for diagnosis, prognosis and imaging have repeatedly been deployed or promoted on the strength of performance that proved fragile under independent testing. A model that performs well in the hospital where it was born has proven only one thing: that it works at home. Consider the most instructive failure in recent clinical AI. The

A medical algorithm must not confuse cost with health

In 2019, a research team led by the physician and economist Ziad Obermeyer reverse-engineered a commercial algorithm already running quietly across the United States health system. The tool, sold by Optum, helped decide which patients — out of a population of roughly 200 million a year — would be flagged for extra medical attention. To

Federated Learning: Issues in Medical Application

In this presentation, the current issues to make federated learning flawlessly useful in the real world will be briefly overviewed. They are related to data/system heterogeneity, client management, traceability, and security. Also, we introduce the modularized federated learning framework, we currently develop, to experiment various techniques and protocols to find solutions for aforementioned issues. The
