Excited to be at #ICML2025 to present our paper on 'pragmatic misalignment' in (deployed!) RAG systems: narrowly "accurate" responses that can be profoundly misinterpreted by readers.
It's especially dangerous for consequential domains like medicine! arxiv.org/pdf/2502.14898

🩺 General LLMs perform well on clinical NLP tasks, even though they never see EHR data. How?
🚀 Our CHIL 2025 paper, led by my PhD student Furong Jia, probes the pre-training datasets behind popular LLMs to investigate how online medical sources drive performance.

Using Large Language Models to Promote Health Equity
While the discussion about the effects of large language models (LLMs) on health equity has been largely cautionary, LLMs also present significant opportunities for improving health equity. We high...

Our article on using LLMs to promote health equity is out in New England Journal of Medicine AI!
85% of equity-related LLM papers focus on *harms*.
But also vital are the equity-related *opportunities* LLMs create: detecting bias, extracting structured data, and improving access to health info.
