Product Manifold Representations for Learning on Biological Pathways
Machine learning models that embed graphs in non-Euclidean spaces have shown substantial benefits in a variety of contexts, but their application has not been studied extensively in the biological domain, particularly with respect to biological pathway graphs. Such graphs exhibit a variety of complex network structures, presenting challenges to existing embedding approaches. Learning high-quality embeddings for biological pathway graphs is important for researchers looking to understand the underpinnings of disease and train high-quality predictive models on these networks. In this work, we investigate the effects of embedding pathway graphs in nonEuclidean mixed-curvature spaces and compare against traditional Euclidean graph representation...

WONDERBREAD: a benchmark for evaluating multimodal foundation models on business process management tasks
Existing ML benchmarks lack the depth and diversity of annotations needed for evaluating models on business process management (BPM) tasks. BPM is the practice of documenting, measuring, improving, and automating enterprise workflows. However, research has focused almost exclusively on one task– full end-to-end automation using agents based on multimodal foundation models (FMs) like GPT-4. This focus on automation ignores the reality of how most BPM tools are applied today– simply documenting the relevant workflow takes 60% of the time of the typical process optimization project. To address this gap we present WONDERBREAD, the first benchmark for evaluating multimodal FMs on...

Systems and methods for programmatic labeling of training data for machine learning models via clustering and language model prompting
Embodiments introduce an approach to semi-automatically generate labels for data based on implementation of a clustering or language model prompting technique and can be used to implement a form of programmatic labeling to accelerate the development of classifiers and other forms of models. The disclosed methodology is particularly helpful in generating labels or annotations for unstructured data. In some embodiments, the disclosed approach may be used with data in the form of text, images, or other form of unstructured data.

Scalable Approach to Medical Wearable Post-Market Surveillance
Objective: We sought to develop a weak supervision-based approach to demonstrate feasibility of post-market surveillance of wearable devices that render AF pre-diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Two approaches were evaluated to reduce clinical note labeling overhead for creating a training set for a classifier: one using programmatic codes, and the other using prompts to large language models (LLMs). Probabilistically labeled notes were then used to fine-tune a classifier, which identified patients with AF pre-diagnosis mentions in a note. A retrospective cohort study was conducted, where the baseline characteristics and subsequent care patterns of patients identified by the classifier were compared against...

Zero-Shot Robustification of Zero-Shot Models with Foundation Models
Zero-shot inference is a powerful paradigm that enables the use of large pretrained models for downstream classification tasks without further training. However, these models are vulnerable to inherited biases that can impact their performance. The traditional solution is fine-tuning, but this undermines the key advantage of pretrained models, which is their ability to be used out-of-the-box. We propose ROBOSHOT, a method that improves the robustness of pretrained model embeddings in a fully zero-shot fashion. First, we use zero-shot language models (LMs) to obtain useful insights from task descriptions. These insights are embedded and used to remove harmful and boost useful...

The Llama 3 Herd of Models
Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems are powered by foundation models. This paper presents a new set of foundation models, called Llama 3. It is a herd of language models that natively support multilinguality, coding, reasoning, and tool usage. Our largest model is a dense Transformer with 405B parameters and a context window of up to 128K tokens. This paper presents an extensive empirical evaluation of Llama 3. We find that Llama 3 delivers comparable quality to leading language models such as GPT-4 on a plethora of tasks. We publicly release Llama 3, including pre-trained and post-trained versions of the 405B...

The ALCHEmist: automated labeling 500x cheaper than LLM data annotators
Large pretrained models can be used as annotators, helping replace or augment crowdworkers and enabling distilling generalist models into smaller specialist models. Unfortunately, this comes at a cost: employing top-of-the-line models often requires paying thousands of dollars for API calls, while the resulting datasets are static and challenging to audit. To address these challenges, we propose a simple alternative: rather than directly querying labels from pretrained models, we task models to generate programs that can produce labels. These programs can be stored and applied locally, re-used and extended, and cost orders of magnitude less. Our system, Alchemist, obtains comparable to...

Red Teaming Large Language Models in Medicine: Real-World Insights on Model Behavior
As a proof-of-concept, we convened an interactive “red teaming” workshop in which medical and technical professionals stress-tested popular large language models (LLMs) through publicly available user interfaces on clinically relevant scenarios. Results demonstrate a significant proportion of inappropriate responses across GPT-3.5, GPT-4.0, and GPT-4.0 with Internet (25.7%, 16.2%, and 17.5%, respectively) and illustrate the valuable role that non-technical clinicians can play in evaluating models.
