New #NeurIPS2025 paper: how should we evaluate machine learning models without a large, labeled dataset? We introduce Semi-Supervised Model Evaluation (SSME), which uses labeled and unlabeled data to estimate performance! We find SSME is far more accurate than standard methods.

New work 🎉: conformal classifiers return sets of classes for each example, with a probabilistic guarantee the true class is included. But these sets can be too large to be useful.

In our #CVPR2025 paper, we propose a method to make them more compact without sacrificing coverage.

We also consider what new challenges generative AI in medicine might raise: what does patient consent look like with LLMs? Who is liable for algorithmic medical errors? These are open questions; there’s some work to answer this but lots more to be done!

We have a new review on generative AI in medicine, to appear in the Annual Review of Biomedical Data Science! We cover over 250 papers in the recent literature to provide an updated overview of use cases and challenges for generative AI in medicine.
