Applying large language models (LLMs) in clinical disease management has numerous critical challenges. Although the models have been effective in diagnostic reasoning, their application in longitudinal disease management, drug prescription, and multi-visit patient care is yet to be tested. The main challenges are limited context understanding across numerous visits, heterogeneous adherence to clinical guidelines, and… Read more

In today’s rapidly evolving AI landscape, one persistent challenge is equipping language models with robust decision-making abilities that extend beyond single-turn interactions. Traditional large language models (LLMs) excel at generating coherent responses but often struggle with multi-step problem solving or interacting with dynamic environments. This shortfall largely stems from the nature of the training data,… Read more

Visual programming has emerged strongly in computer vision and AI, especially regarding image reasoning. Visual programming enables computers to create executable code that interacts with visual content to offer correct responses. These systems form the backbone of object detection, image captioning, and VQA applications. Its effectiveness stems from the ability to modularize multiple reasoning tasks,… Read more
