AI Offers Hope to People Suffering From Lyosomal Storage Disease – By InnoNurse Staff (@innonurse) – In drug discovery research, artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly crucial. Researchers at the University of Zurich (UZH) have been able to better comprehend a deadly metabolic disorder due to advances in Big Data, learning algorithms, and powerful computers.
Generative AI: Pulling Back the Curtain– By John Halamka, M.D. & Paul Cerrato, Mayo Clinic Platform (@MayoPlatform) – As the name implies, a large language model (LLM) uses massive amounts of data, and in the case of text documents, can learn all sorts of linguistic patterns and associations to create a deep knowledge base to draw on. That in turn enables the model to make logical predictions on which words, sentences, and paragraphs should follow one another. Nigam Shah, M.D., a Professor of Medicine and Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University, has provided a lucid explanation of how these digital tools work in a recent video.
