Leveraging Large Language Models for Healthcare: Methods, Applications and Challenges
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kristina Yordanova
The advance of deep learning models and especially large language models (LLMs) in the last few years has reshaped the landscape of nearly all research fields. In this talk we look at large language models and their applications in healthcare. We discuss the methodological advances of LLMs such as prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and GraphRAG approaches and their practical application on selected examples from the fields of medicine, gerontology, and nursing. Finally, we look at the challenges that LLMs pose and some potential mitigations that increase the reliability and validity of the models.
