 ng 16.3 billion encounters across 300 million patient records from 310 he
 alth systems\, representing 115 billion medical events from 118 million p
 atients. Comet autoregressively predicts the next medical event to simula
 te patient health timelines. Across 78 real-world tasks including diagnos
 is prediction\, disease prognosis\, and healthcare operations\, Comet out
 performed or matched task-specific supervised models without requiring fi

DESCRIPTION:From Compound Figures to Composite Understanding: Developing a
  Multi-Modal LLM from Biomedical Literature with Medical Multiple-Image B
 enchmarking and Validation In healthcare\, disease diagnostics and longit
 udinal patient monitoring require clinicians to synthesize information ac
 ross multiple images from different modalities or time points\, yet this 
 multi-image reasoning remains a significant gap for most current multi-mo
 dal LLMs. This capability gap persists due to a critical bottleneck: the 
 lack of large-scale\, high-quality annotated training data for medical mu
 lti-image understanding. This study aims to address this scarcity by leve
 raging compound figures from biomedical literature. We devised a novel fi
 ve-stage\, context-aware instruction generation pipeline to create the PM
 C-MI-Dataset comprising over 260\,000 compound images\, and subsequently 
 developed M³LLM\, a medical multi-image multi-modal LLM. For a comprehens
 ive evaluation\, we also constructed the expert-validated PMC-MI-Bench. M
 ³LLM significantly outperforms state-of-the-art general-purpose and speci
 alized MLLMs\, achieving superior performance on diverse tasks of the PMC
 -MI-Bench and public benchmarks like OmniMedVQA and MMMU-Med. Furthermore
 \, clinical validation on the MIMIC longitudinal chest X-ray dataset conf
 irms its superior performance in real-world tasks\, including disease dia
 gnosis and progression prediction. Our study establishes a scalable parad
 igm for this task\, and the model\, dataset\, and benchmark will be publi
 cly released.\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.

DESCRIPTION:Large language models hold enormous potential for transforming
  healthcare\, but their deployment is often bottlenecked by unstructured 
 data\, fragmented pipelines\, and inconsistent model-data alignment. Nimb
 lemind.AI addresses these challenges with an agentic AI framework that au
 tomates the full clinical data lifecycle from ingestion and de-identifica
 tion to inference and interpretability. Building on the paper\, “Agentic 
 AI Framework for End-to-End Medical Data Inference”\, the talk will discu
 ss how specialized agents collaborate to process multimodal data\, link s
 tructured EHR fields with clinical narratives\, and route tasks to the mo
 st appropriate foundation or domain model. This framework demonstrates ho
 w autonomous agent coordination can turn LLMs into operational tools to c
 ontextualize patient records\, ensure reproducibility\, and generate tran
 sparent explanations of model outputs. The talk will wrap up with a demo 
 of Nimblemind.AI's new platform\, NimbleLabs\, where users can add a simp
 le clinical description and relevant data to generate a fully operational
 \, specialty-specific predictive model ready for real-world clinical envi
 ronments. Navin Kumar\, PhD is the co-founder of Nimblemind.AI\, a compan
 y building agentic AI systems to make clinical data interoperable and act
 ionable. Born and raised in Singapore\, Kumar earned their PhD at Yale Un
 iversity under Nicholas Christakis \, publishing over 60 papers and secur
 ing more than $1M in research funding on AI-driven approaches to populati
 on health. Before founding Nimblemind.AI\, they led data science and AI i
 nitiatives at NYC Health + Hospitals\, the nation’s largest public health
 care system\, and deployed predictive models that improved chronic diseas
 e screening and reduced missed appointments across over one million patie
 nts. Witnessing firsthand how data inefficiency limits equitable care\, K
 umar launched Nimblemind.AI to build scalable\, transparent AI infrastruc
 ture that improves outcomes\, especially for minority populations.\n\nSpe

DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: RDMA: Cost Effective Agent-Driven Rare Disease Dis
 covery within Electronic Health Record Systems Abstract: Rare diseases af
 fect 1 in 10 Americans\, yet standard ICD coding systems fail to capture 
 these conditions in electronic health records (EHR)\, leaving crucial inf
 ormation about rare diseases\, their clinical presentations\, and phenoty
 pic patterns buried in unstructured clinical notes. Current automated ext
 raction approaches struggle with medical abbreviations\, miss implicit ph
 enotype mentions\, raise privacy concerns through cloud processing\, and 
 lack the clinical reasoning abilities needed for accurate identification 
 of rare disease presentations in human patients. We present Rare Disease 
 Mining Agents (RDMA)\, a framework that mirrors how clinical experts appr
 oach rare disease identification by systematically connecting clinical ob
 servations directly to standardized ontologies like Orphanet and Human Ph
 enotype Ontology. RDMA handles clinical abbreviations\, recognizes implic
 it phenotype patterns\, and applies contextual reasoning locally on stand
 ard hardware to extract and code rare disease information with supporting
  textual evidence. This approach reduces privacy risks while improving F1
  performance by over 30\% and decreasing inference costs 10-fold\, achiev
 ing high precision (89\%) in rare disease mining and coding. By enabling 
 clinicians to access systematically coded rare disease information with e
 xplicit evidence from EHR systems without cloud-based privacy risks\, RDM
 A supports identification and documentation of rare conditions. Available

 tability\, or clinical predictive modeling. He actively maintains PyHealt

DESCRIPTION:This session will feature two exciting talks: 1. Rethinking Re
 trieval-Augmented Generation for Medicine: A Large-Scale\, Systematic Exp
 ert Evaluation and Practical Insights by Hyunjae Kim\, PhD Abstract: Retr
 ieval-augmented generation (RAG) is widely adopted to keep medical LLMs c
 urrent and verifiable\, yet its effectiveness remains unclear. We present
  the first end-to-end\, expert annotated evaluation of RAG in medicine\, 
 systematically assessing the full pipeline across three stages: evidence 
 retrieval\, evidence selection\, and response generation. Eighteen medica
 l experts provided 80\,502 annotations across 800 model outputs on 200 cl
 inical queries.Contrary to expectations\, conventional RAG often degraded
  performance—only 22% of retrieved passages were relevant\, evidence sele
 ction was weak\, and factuality dropped up to 6%. However\, simple strate
 gies like evidence filtering and query reformulation improved performance
  by up to 12%. Our findings challenge current RAG assumptions and highlig
 ht the need for deliberate system design in medical AI applications. 2. T
 opicForest: Embedding-Driven Hierarchical Clustering and Labeling for Bio
 medical Literature by Chia-Hsuan Chang\, PhD Abstract: The vast and compl
 ex landscape of biomedical literature presents significant challenges for
  organization and interpretation. Current embedding-based topic models li
 ke BERTopic are limited to flat\, single-granularity clusters\, failing t
 o capture the inherently nested\, hierarchical structure of scientific su
 bjects. We introduce TopicForest\, a novel framework that captures this n
 atural hierarchy by building a "forest of topic trees" directly from text
  embeddings. TopicForest delivers high-quality topic clustering comparabl
 e to state-of-the-art flat models while providing the essential multi-sca
 le resolution they lack. Through recursive topic labeling\, the framework
  achieves efficient token usage and practical scalability for large corpo
 ra. This design provides researchers with an effective tool for exploring
  and visualizing hierarchical biomedical knowledge landscapes.\n\nSpeaker

DESCRIPTION:This session will feature two exciting talks: A Collaborative 
 Reasoning Agent-based Framework with Built-in Verification for Safe Medic
 al Decision-Making by Fan Ma\, PhD Abstract: Large language models (LLMs)
  have demonstrated expert-level capabilities on medical benchmarks\, yet 
 translating these achievements into clinical practice is impeded by persi
 stent risks of hallucination and a lack of verifiable reasoning. While em
 erging agentic frameworks have begun to address these limitations through
  multi-step planning\, existing systems often prioritize performance opti
 mization over rigorous safety checks and fail to emulate the collective d
 ecision-making of multidisciplinary teams. To address these critical gaps
 \, we introduce OpenDx\, a multi-agent framework designed to bridge the d
 ivide between experimental prototypes and reliable clinical decision supp
 ort. OpenDx is built upon three core principles: collaboration among spec
 ialized agents that simulate distinct clinical roles\, integrated verific
 ation modules that strictly cross-check outputs for safety and consistenc
 y\, and an architectural alignment with clinical auditability standards. 
 We present the design and evaluation of OpenDx\, demonstrating how struct
 ured collaboration significantly enhance reliability compared to baseline
  models. Our work advocates for a new paradigm of trustworthy medical AI\
 , where performance gains are inseparable from the interpretability and s
 afety assurances required for frontline healthcare deployment. A Federate
 d and Parameter-Efficient Framework for Large Language Model Training in 
 Medicine: Applications to Clinical Information Extraction by Anran Li\, P
 hD Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are advancing medical applicati
 ons such as patient question answering and diagnosis. Yet extracting stru
 ctured information from unstructured clinical narratives across healthcar
 e systems remains challenging. Current LLMs struggle with such clinical i
 nformation extraction (IE) due to complex language\, limited annotations\
 , and data silos. We present a federated\, model-agnostic framework for t
 raining LLMs in medicine\, applied to clinical IE. The proposed Fed-MedLo
 RA enables parameter-efficient federated fine-tuning by transmitting only
  low-rank adapter parameters\, substantially reducing communication and c
 omputation costs. Accuracy was assessed across five patient cohorts throu
 gh comparisons with baselines for LLMs under (1) in-domain training and t
 esting\, (2) external patient cohorts\, and (3) a case study on new-site 
 adaptation using real-world clinical notes.\n\nSpeaker:\nFan Ma\n\nAdmiss

DESCRIPTION:A Prompt Library for Efficient Clinical Entity Recognition Usi
 ng Large Language Models by Yang Ren\, PhD Abstract: Large Language Model
 s (LLMs) hold strong potential for clinical information extraction (IE)\,
  but their evaluation is often limited by manually crafted prompts and th
 e need for annotated data. We developed an automated framework that extra
 cts entity-level schema information from published clinical IE studies to
  construct structured prompts. Using literature covering 44 diseases and 
 over 100 entities\, we generated prompts to evaluate multiple LLMs under 
 few-shot and fine-tuned settings. Compared to baselines using generic pro
 mpts\, models prompted with schema-derived information consistently outpe
 rformed across tasks. Our results demonstrate the value of structured pro
 mpting for robust and reproducible LLM evaluation in diverse clinical IE 
 applications.\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.

DESCRIPTION:This session will feature two exciting talks: 1. Accelerating 
 Cohort Identification from EHRs with Biomedical Knowledge and LLMs by Lin
 gfei Qian\, PhD Abstract ： Identifying eligible patients from electronic 
 health records (EHRs) is a key challenge in clinical research. We present
  a framework that combines large language models (LLMs)\, Text-to-SQL\, a
 nd retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to streamline cohort identificati
 on. Eligibility criteria are first decomposed and partially translated in
 to structured queries via Text-to-SQL\, providing a preliminary selection
  from OMOP-formatted EHR data. The core innovation focuses on RAG/QA to r
 etrieve and assess patient-level evidence from both clinical notes and st
 ructured tables\, emphasizing nuanced evaluation of complex criteria like
  disease chronicity\, lab thresholds\, and clinical stability\, while sup
 porting interactive cohort exploration and detailed patient-level evidenc

  Biomedical Publications by Xueqing Peng\, PhD Abstract : Scientific nove
 lty plays a critical role in shaping research impact\, yet it remains inc
 onsistently defined and difficult to quantify. Existing approaches often 
 reduce novelty to a single measure\, failing to distinguish the specific 
 types of contributions (such as new concepts or relationships) that drive
  influence. In this study\, we introduce a semantic measure of novelty ba
 sed on the emergence of new biomedical entities and relationships within 
 the conclusion sections of research articles. Leveraging transformer-base
 d named entity recognition (NER) and relation extraction (RE) tools\, we 
 identify novel findings and classify articles into four categories: No No
 velty\, Entity-only Novelty\, Relation-only Novelty\, and Entity-Relation
  Novelty. We evaluate this framework using citation counts and Journal Im
 pact Factors (JIF) as proxies for research influence. Our results show th
 at Entity-Relation Novelty articles receive the highest citation impact\,
  with relation novelty more closely aligned with high-impact journals. Th
 ese findings offer a scalable framework for assessing novelty and guiding
  future research evaluation.\n\nSpeakers:\nLingfei Qian\; Xueqing Peng\n\

DESCRIPTION:Title: Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinical Reasoning of Multiple 
 Large Language Models Abstract: Large language models are increasingly us
 ed for mental health–related questions\, yet their performance in psychia
 try - where diagnosis depends heavily on narrative interpretation and cli
 nical reasoning - remains poorly understood. In this talk\, I’ll present 
 a mixed-methods evaluation of four contemporary LLMs on 196 psychiatric c
 ase vignettes\, combining large-scale diagnostic accuracy metrics with cl
 inician-rated assessments of diagnostic reasoning. We find that models ca
 n achieve high diagnostic accuracy on vignettes\, but - crucially - that 
 clinician-rated reasoning quality is far more predictive of diagnostic co
 rrectness than surface-level data extraction. These findings suggest that
  evaluating how models reason\, not just what they predict\, is essential
  for understanding their potential role in psychiatric decision support.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Rethinking User Interface Design in the Era of AI Agent
 s Abstract: Artificial intelligence agents are rapidly reshaping how user
 s interact with digital systems. From embedded copilots to autonomous tas
 k executors\, agents are no longer confined to chat interfaces—they are b
 ecoming integral components of modern user interfaces. In this talk\, we 
 will share a series of real-world cases and practical lessons drawn from 
 building agent-driven systems in research and data-intensive environments
 . We will examine how agents are currently embedded into interfaces\, wha
 t architectural decisions influence usability and trust\, and what design
  trade-offs emerge when combining autonomy with human control. We will al
 so discuss how AI agent tools themselves are transforming the UI design w
 orkflow—from rapid prototyping to code generation and interaction simulat
 ion. Huan He\, PhD \, is a research scientist in biomedical informatics a

DESCRIPTION:Title: HypRAG: Hyperbolic Dense Retrieval for Retrieval Augmen
 ted Generation Abstract: Embedding geometry fundamentally affects retriev
 al quality\, yet dense retrievers for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG
 ) remain confined to Euclidean space. Natural language has hierarchical s
 tructure from broad topics to specific entities that Euclidean embeddings
  fail to preserve\, causing semantically distant documents to appear spur
 iously similar and increasing hallucination risk. We introduce hyperbolic
  dense retrieval with two model variants in the Lorentz model: HyTE-FH\, 
 a fully hyperbolic transformer\, and HyTE-H\, a hybrid architecture proje
 cting pre-trained Euclidean embeddings into hyperbolic space. To prevent 
 representational collapse during sequence aggregation\, we introduce the 
 Outward Einstein Midpoint\, a geometry-aware pooling operator that provab
 ly preserves hierarchical structure. On MTEB\, HyTE-FH outperforms equiva
 lent Euclidean baselines. On RAGBench\, HyTE-H achieves up to 29% gains o
 ver Euclidean baselines in context and answer relevance using substantial
 ly smaller models than current state-of-the-art retrievers. Hyperbolic re
 presentations encode document specificity through norm-based separation\,
  with over 20% radial increase from general to specific concepts\, a prop
 erty absent in Euclidean embeddings. Hiren Madhu a second year PhD studen

DESCRIPTION:This session features two talks exploring novel approaches to 
 AI-driven biomedical discovery and drug representation. "PredMed: Extrapo
 lating Future Discoveries from the Literature Universe" by Chia-Hsuan Cha
 ng\, PhD - Postdoctoral Associate in Biomedical Informatics and Data Scie
 nce Abstract: Most AI co-scientists are limited by retrieval-augmented ge
 neration (RAG) over static corpora and heavily rely on human guidance. We
  present PredMed\, a novel framework that redefines hypothesis generation
  as a temporal extrapolation task within the high-dimensional literature 
 universe. Using time-based regression and a specialized Embedding Languag
 e Model (ELM) acting as a decoder\, we project and translate future-state
  embeddings back into natural language. Our results show that this tempor
 al steering mechanism explores scientific territory that standard prompti
 ng cannot reach\, outperforming baseline methods in both novelty and rela
 tional depth. We also validate PredMed’s efficacy through expert-reviewed
  hypotheses in CAR-T therapy domain\, highlighting a new frontier for aut
 onomous scientific discovery "A Literature-Based Drug Embedding Resource 
 for Biomedical Research" by Zhiyuan Cao - PhD Student in Computational Bi
 ology and Biomedical Informatics (CBB) Abstract: We introduce DrugSpace\,
  a reusable text-based drug embedding resource designed to support simila
 rity search\, retrieval\, and downstream modeling in biomedical research.
  Built from large-scale PubMed abstracts and aligned with heterogeneous D
 rugBank drug descriptions through a two-stage training pipeline\, DrugSpa
 ce is released both as a versioned embedding dataset and as an embedder f
 or generating representations from new drug text. To support realistic re
 use\, the resource is evaluated under a prospective setting that separate
 s drug-level alignment from later drug introductions and updates. Across 
 intrinsic similarity discrimination\, ATC-based therapeutic retrieval\, r
 obustness to input perturbations\, and integration into a representative 
 DDI prediction pipeline\, DrugSpace consistently remains competitive with
  strong biomedical and general-purpose text embedding baselines\, support
 ing its utility as a practical and extensible drug representation resourc

DESCRIPTION:This session features two talks: "A Systematic Framework for S
 caling High-Fidelity Medical Multimodal Data Curation" by Hyunjae Kim\, P
 hD - Postdoctoral Associate in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science Ab
 stract: Medical multimodal learning is often hindered by the scarcity of 
 high-quality image-text data. While scientific literature is a vast resou
 rce\, extracting clinically relevant\, deconstructed\, and aligned image-
 caption pairs at scale remains challenging. We propose MedPMC\, an automa
 ted five-stage pipeline to curate high-fidelity medical datasets from lar
 ge-scale biomedical repositories. The framework features task-specialized
  components for precise image filtering and sophisticated separation of m
 ulti-panel figures and captions to ensure accurate image-text alignment. 
 Leveraging this pipeline\, we curated 12 million medical image-text pairs
 . A CLIP-style model trained on this dataset surpassed state-of-the-art p
 erformance across 20+ benchmarks in six clinical specialties\, including 
 radiology and pathology. Furthermore\, integrating our model into a multi
 modal LLM outperformed baselines on medical QA tasks by 3.6%. Crucially\,
  MedPMC-trained models enhance performance on internal clinical data\, un
 derscoring their utility in real-world settings. This scalable framework 
 establishes a new paradigm for transforming biomedical literature into co
 ntinuously updatable\, clinically grounded training resources. " S-index 
 – A Refined Data Sharing Index to Promote and Reward Biomedical Data Reus
 e" by Kalpana Raja\, PhD\, MRSB\, CSci - Instructor of Biomedical Informa
 tics and Data Science Abstract: Data sharing has become increasingly reco
 gnized as essential for accelerating scientific discovery\, enhancing tra
 nsparency\, and maximizing the return on research investments. Efforts su
 ch as the FAIR principles (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Re
 usable) and NIH policies on Data Management and Sharing have underscored 
 the importance of making datasets widely available to the scientific comm
 unity. Despite these advances\, current practices lack quantitative metri
 cs that accurately reflect researchers' contributions to data sharing\, p
 articularly the downstream reuse of their datasets by the broader scienti
 fic community. Existing citation metrics\, such as the H-index\, predomin
 antly measure scholarly impact through publications\, neglecting the crit
 ical role of dataset creation and reuse. Consequently\, there is a pressi
 ng need for a novel index to quantify and incentivize dataset reuse\, fos
 tering a robust culture of open and impactful scientific data sharing. To
  address this\, we propose the Data Sharing index (S-index)\, a refined m
 etric specifically designed to quantify a researcher’s contribution to re
 usable data. We have built an end-to-end workflow for S-index computation
  and a web-based interface for visualization and demonstrated feasibility
  using a real-world repository (OpenNeuro).\n\nSpeakers:\nHyunjae Kim\; K

DESCRIPTION:Large language models have achieved near-saturated performance
  on medical knowledge benchmarks\, yet high exam scores tell us little ab
 out clinical safety or real-world utility. In this talk\, I review three 
 recent studies that collectively reframe how we should evaluate LLMs for 
 clinical use: NOHARM\, which introduces a safety-oriented benchmark revea
 ling that most LLM errors are harmful omissions rather than commissions\;
  MedR-Bench\, which decomposes clinical reasoning into stages and exposes
  critical weaknesses beyond diagnosis\; and the first randomized controll
 ed trial of ambient AI scribes\, which highlights the gap between technic
 al capability and clinical adoption. Together\, these works suggest a par
 adigm shift\, from asking "are LLMs smart enough for medicine?" to "how d
 o we rigorously evaluate their safety\, understand their failure modes\, 
 and validate their real-world impact".\n\nSpeaker:\nLingfei Qian\n\nAdmis
