I have moved to the breathtaking Pacific Northwest and joined the ranks of the University of Washington in Bothell.

Here’s to new opportunities, growth, and discovery! 🥂🧿🍀

🚨 New paper alert 🚨

Can we match RETFound’s retinal disease detection performance by just prompting a general-purpose foundation model like Gemini 1.5 Pro to the task? For diabetic retinopathy detection from color fundus photos, YES!

Realistic retinal image generation for counterfactual reasoning in ophthalmology. Diffusion models coupled with robust classifiers led to stunning results. It works on both color fundus photographs and OCT.

Finally out in PLOS Digital Health!

We matched the performance of RETFound for DR detection from CFPs via in-context learning with Gemini 1.5 Pro. We also achieved counterfactual reasoning about diagnostic decisions in natural language space, plus well-calibrated predictive probabilities.
In-context learning for data-efficient classification of diabetic retinopathy with multimodal foundation models
Importance: In-context learning, a prompt-based learning mechanism that enables multimodal foundation models to adapt to new tasks, can eliminate the need for retraining or large annotated datasets. W...
