Large Language Models for Healthcare, the Practice from HuatuoGPT

Talk By Benyou Wang
 

Apr 25, 2024 Thursday

Abstract:

Over the past year, OpenAI’s ChatGPT and numerous models from the open-source community (such as LLaMA 3), have significantly advanced the development of artificial intelligence applications. The proprietary nature of ChatGPT and domestic restrictions have affected the use of it by domestic users, and the prohibition on the sale of high-end GPU chips has also increased the technological gap. In healthcare, both proprietary and open-source models have great potential, but there is still “a final mile to go” before they can solve real-world problems.

In this speech, it will introduce the medical LLM HuatuoGPT,  Arabic LLM AceGPT, and the most recent multimodal large models that our team has developed in succession. These practices have mainly focused on adapting language models to the Chinese medical field, especially in multimodal scenarios. Additionally, we will also look forward to the future development direction of large models.
