GCS-ICHNet: Assessment of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Prognosis using Self-Attention with Domain Knowledge Integration

Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe condition resulting from damaged brain blood vessel ruptures, often leading to complications and fatalities. Timely and accurate prognosis and management are essential due to its high mortality rate. However, conventional methods heavily rely on subjective clinician expertise, which can lead to inaccurate diagnoses and delays in treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) models have been explored to assist clinicians, but many prior studies focused on model modification without considering domain knowledge. This paper introduces a novel deep learning algorithm, GCS-ICHNet, which integrates multimodal brain CT image data and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score to improve ICH prognosis. The algorithm utilizes a transformer-based fusion module for assessment. GCS-ICHNet demonstrates high sensitivity 81.03% and specificity 91.59%, outperforming average clinicians and other state-of-the-art methods.

CMB: A Comprehensive Medical Benchmark in Chinese

Large Language Models (LLMs) provide a possibility to make a great breakthrough in medicine. The establishment of a standardized medical benchmark becomes a fundamental cornerstone to measure progression. However, medical environments in different regions have their local characteristics, e.g., the ubiquity and significance of traditional Chinese medicine within China. Therefore, merely translating English-based medical evaluation may result in \textit{contextual incongruities} to a local region. To solve the issue, we propose a localized medical benchmark called CMB, a Comprehensive Medical Benchmark in Chinese, designed and rooted entirely within the native Chinese linguistic and cultural framework. While traditional Chinese medicine is integral to this evaluation, it does not constitute its entirety. Using this benchmark, we have evaluated several prominent large-scale LLMs, including ChatGPT, GPT-4, dedicated Chinese LLMs, and LLMs specialized in the medical domain. It is worth noting that our benchmark is not devised as a leaderboard competition but as an instrument for self-assessment of model advancements. We hope this benchmark could facilitate the widespread adoption and enhancement of medical LLMs within China. Check details in \url{https://cmedbenchmark.llmzoo.com/}.

HuatuoGPT, towards Taming Language Model to Be a Doctor

In this paper, we present HuatuoGPT, a large language model (LLM) for medical consultation. The core recipe of HuatuoGPT is to leverage both \textit{distilled data from ChatGPT} and \textit{real-world data from doctors} in the supervised fine-tuned stage. The responses of ChatGPT are usually detailed, well-presented and informative while it cannot perform like a doctor in many aspects, e.g. for integrative diagnosis. We argue that real-world data from doctors would be complementary to distilled data in the sense the former could tame a distilled language model to perform like doctors. To better leverage the strengths of both data, we train a reward model to align the language model with the merits that both data bring, following an RLAIF (reinforced learning from AI feedback) fashion. To evaluate and benchmark the models, we propose a comprehensive evaluation scheme (including automatic and manual metrics). Experimental results demonstrate that HuatuoGPT achieves state-of-the-art results in performing medical consultation among open-source LLMs in GPT-4 evaluation, human evaluation, and medical benchmark datasets. It is worth noting that by using additional real-world data and RLAIF, the distilled language model (i.e., HuatuoGPT) outperforms its teacher model ChatGPT in most cases.
