_hylandSL - not here

Trying this out, I miss using twitter for academic purposes: bsky.app/profile/hyland…

if your immediate thought was to ask "what exactly do you mean by biomedical discovery?" you are double-invited to apply, because we care about details

if you find yourself wanting to understand how and why models work, in a way that could be useful for biomedical discovery, come to Cambridge (UK) for a postdoc at MSR: jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/…

Our MAIRA-2 model for (grounded) radiology report generation from CXRs is out now! huggingface.co/microsoft/mair…

By open-sourcing RadFact, we hope others can use it, improve on it, and ultimately advance state of the art in automated radiology report generation! github.com/microsoft/RadF…

We needed a new metric to support grounded report evaluation, but it was already evident when we were doing MAIRA-1 (arxiv.org/abs/2311.13668) that even for text-only evaluation, existing metrics miss things we care about. RadFact targets correctness and completeness directly!

my team's radiology report generation metric is now open source: microsoft/RadFact: A metric suite leveraging the logical inference capabilities of LLMs, for radiology report generation both with and without grounding (github.com)#MoreMetrics arxiv.org/abs/2406.04449

Perks of Cambridge (UK): - Original Cambridge - Near but not actually in London - Almost entirely flat terrain ideal for cycling - Option to peer at beautiful university buildings through their railings - Driest part of England (still rains >100 days/year)

We are hiring a senior researcher in ML for healthcare at MSR Cambridge (UK)! The position is in my team, so if you get it you will work with me (is this a pro or a con? do not answer). Focus is multimodal (~vision-language) models for radiology! Link: jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/…

Our next Integrated Cancer Medicine and @CambridgeMedAI Seminar a week today! Multimodal AI for Radiology Stephanie Hyland, Principal Researcher, @MSFTResearch Cambridge 🗓️ Thur 18 April, 15:00-17:00 📌 Rayleigh seminar room @Maxwell_Centre Sign up 👉 eventbrite.co.uk/e/integrated-c…

🚨 Deadline Extension Alert 🚨 We’re extending our submission deadline to Feb 16th EoD! 🎉 Don’t miss the opportunity to polish your work & submit the best version of your paper! chilconference.org/call-for-paper… #CHIL2024 #CallForPapers #ml4h #machinelearning #ai #health #MoreTimeToShine

Full programme for our 20th Armitage Workshop is now confirmed. Fantastic line-up of speakers including from @_hylandSL, @ltronneberg, Brendan Murphy, Jessica Barrett & keynote by @amyhherring. Find out more & register FREE: mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/news-and-event…

(that said, not every internship produces a paper. That's okay - not everything needs to be published, and sometimes/often we do things bigger than 3 month project!)

Last note: this paper is an outcome of @hardy_qr's internship last summer. If you're interested in a research internship with us on machine learning in health/medicine, keep an eye on the MSR careers page (microsoft.com/en-us/research…) or wait for me to tweet more about it.

Our #TACL paper on Compositional Zero-Shot Domain Transfer is now out! direct.mit.edu/tacl/article/d… We show that training on general-domain task data (say, NLI) and in-domain unstructured data (say, radiology reports) enables in-domain task capability (radiology NLI)!
