Keynote
Clinical information extraction in the era of large language models (LLMs)
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) contain abundant free text data that are valuable for research and operation in the medical domain. Natural language processing (NLP) technologies have shown great promise in unlocking information in clinical texts; however, many challenges still exist when developing and implementing NLP technologies for biomedical applications. The talk will focus on method development in clinical and biomedical NLP, including recent advancements in large language models (LLMs), along with lessons learned from building NLP-based applications.

Bio: Dr. Hua Xu is Robert T. McCluskey Professor and Vice Chair for Research and Development, Section of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science at Yale School of Medicine (YSM), as well as Assistant Dean for Biomedical Informatics at YSM. He received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics from Columbia University. His primary research interests include biomedical natural language processing (NLP) and data mining, as well as their applications in secondary use of electronic health records data for clinical and translational research. His research is funded by multiple agencies (i.e., NLM, NCI, NIGMS, NIA, AHA, and CPRIT), and methods/tools developed in his lab have been top ranked in a number of biomedical NLP shared tasks and widely used to support diverse biomedical applications. He served as the Chair of American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) NLP Working Group and now leads the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) NLP Working Group. Dr. Xu is a fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI) and the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics (IAHSI).
