Large Language Models Predict Functional Outcomes after Acute Ischemic Stroke
Anjali K. Kapoor, Anton Alyakin, Jin Vivian Lee +8
Accurate prediction of functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke can inform clinical decision-making and resource allocation. Prior work on modified Rankin Scale (mRS) predic…
"All You Need" is Not All You Need for a Paper Title: On the Origins of a Scientific Meme
Anton Alyakin
The 2017 paper ''Attention Is All You Need'' introduced the Transformer architecture-and inadvertently spawned one of machine learning's most persistent naming conventions. We anal…
Generalist Large Language Models Outperform Clinical Tools on Medical Benchmarks
Krithik Vishwanath, Mrigayu Ghosh, Anton Alyakin +3
Specialized clinical AI assistants are rapidly entering medical practice, often framed as safer or more reliable than general-purpose large language models (LLMs). Yet, unlike fron…
CNS-Obsidian: A Neurosurgical Vision-Language Model Built From Scientific Publications
Anton Alyakin, Jaden Stryker, Daniel Alexander Alber +29
General-purpose VLMs demonstrate impressive capabilities, but their opaque training on uncurated internet data poses critical limitations for high-stakes decision-making, such as i…
Generalist Foundation Models Are Not Clinical Enough for Hospital Operations
Lavender Y. Jiang, Angelica Chen, Xu Han +16
Hospitals and healthcare systems rely on operational decisions that determine patient flow, cost, and quality of care. Despite strong performance on medical knowledge and conversat…
MedMobile: A mobile-sized language model with clinical capabilities
Krithik Vishwanath, Jaden Stryker, Anton Alyakin +2
Language models (LMs) have demonstrated expert-level reasoning and recall abilities in medicine. However, computational costs and privacy concerns are mounting barriers to wide-sca…
