An amazing paper from this team and certainly should cause all of us some pause. It highlights and overarching larger issue - platforms that use generalist models, those trained on public internet data - are likely to cause a higher number (and potentially harmful) medically relevant mistakes.

Big things are coming, and we really can’t wait to share it with the #Veterinary community!

🐾 Over the holidays, veterinary teams work tirelessly to care for pets in need.

Here’s why their dedication matters:
🎄 Emergencies don’t take a holiday.
🎄 They bring hope & healing to pets and owners.

Thank you, #VeterinaryHeroes! 💙

Really proud of our team for this latest publication regarding the use of NLP in #veterinary text. It clearly establishes a need for veterinary-trained model development, and I highly advise the cautious use of generalist models.

After a quick break (sorry!) we’re back with #Medical #ML Minutes day 8:

Overfitting:
When a model memorizes the training data too well but struggles with new cases. In #VetMed, this is a challenge because datasets are often small or unbalanced.

The foundation of #ML. Models need quality, diverse #veterinary datasets to perform accurately—whether for diagnosing diseases or predicting outcomes. Garbage in, garbage out!

Radiomics:
The extraction of data from medical images using ML. In Oncology, this can reveal tumor characteristics invisible to the human eye. It looks as pixel-to-pixel relationships in imaging data.
