Just made a Mastodon account! @[email protected]. The fediverse is wonderful and I'm honestly embarrassed I waited this long.

I'm so very excited to have matched at BIDMC Emergency Med for emergency medicine residency! I am so thankful to all the friends and mentors who have supported me through medical school and my PhD. Lindsey Erion Barner and I cannot wait to see what the next few years bring.

Want more reliable feature attributions in biomedical machine learning tasks like predicting optimal combinations of anti-cancer drugs from tumor expression? Ensemble multiple models (even if it doesn’t increase your pred performance)! idp.nature.com/authorize?resp…

This project has everything! In-depth audits of 5 dermatology AI models, architectural innovations for generative XAI methods, and a framework that promises to help medical AI developers improve their algorithms using the data they already have (and some domain expertise).

Isaac Kohane Patients w rare or missed diseases often mention if they put in their one-liner into Google, their diagnosis would come up and chalk that up to the incompetence of their docs, but I think it’s the synthesis into that one-liner that creates the incantation leading to the dx.

I teamed up with philosopher Seth Lazar and AI impacts researcher Arvind Narayanan to investigate the "Statement on AI Risk" that proposes: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority". tl;dr: We're not convinced.🧵 fast.ai/posts/2023-05-…

We've developed a framework to promote transparency in medical image AI, leveraging an image-text foundation model. We introduce MONET (Medical cONcept rETriever), a tool that empowers large-scale data auditing, model auditing, and inherently interpretable model building!

Dermatologists need to be aware that Google is giving lists of diagnoses using AI for patients who upload images of skin disease. They claim it’s just “informational” so doesn’t need regulation. theverge.com/2023/6/15/2376…

For example, to prove my point, I opened the podcast (open.spotify.com/episode/3DQfcT…) and skipped forward to a random location, around 37 minutes into the thing (I can't bear to watch all 3 hours and debunk point by point). At this point, he's talking about a "Lazarus Report" that said

I am recruiting PhD students to work with me at @IllinoisCS at the intersection of HCI and NLP! I am especially excited about understanding how we use language to communicate and building tools that help us communicate better. More: talaugust.github.io/students/

The EHR should be a decentralized infrastructure platform for the public good. Patients should own and control our own data. Not this current mess.

We're hiring at the Broad Institute! @michlipi and I are looking for talented research associates to join the Spatial Technology Platform and advance spatial profiling and transcriptomics technologies. Come join us! broadinstitute.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/broad_institut…

12 years ago today was my first day as an intern. Residency was such a time of growth and realization. Good luck to all the new interns who are going to have the highest of highs and lowest of lows this next year. You'll do great! Just try to learn something every day
