Twitter is really becoming unbearable. I fully support keeping science separate from politics, but this is going too far. Foreign oligarchs should not be influencing European politics. I’ll still be around here, but my main activity is now on 🦋👇

AI agents in medicine are getting traction! This is similar to our 2024 paper, showing the capabilities of an AI agent controlling specialized AI models (led by @Dykex6 )

Agentic AI Meets Medicine!!! 🔬 Excited to announce MedRAX: a groundbreaking Medical Reasoning Agent for Chest X-ray interpretation, now on arXiv! Paper: Code: What is MedRAX? MedRAX is the first versatile AI agent that seamlessly integrates state-of-the-art chest X-ray analysis tools and multimodal large language models into a unified framework, enabling dynamic reasoning for complex medical queries without additional training. 🎯 Why MedRAX? While specialized AI models excel at specific chest X-ray tasks, they often operate in isolation. Medical professionals need a unified, reliable system that can handle complex queries while maintaining accuracy. MedRAX bridges this gap! 🛠️ Integrated Tools: - Visual QA: CheXagent & LLaVA-Med - Segmentation: MedSAM & ChestX-Det - Report Generation: CheXpert Plus - Classification: TorchXRayVision - Grounding: Maira-2 - Synthetic Data: RoentGen 💡 Key Features: - Unified Framework: Seamlessly integrates specialized medical tools with multimodal large language model reasoning. - Dynamic Orchestration: Intelligent tool selection and coordination for complex queries. - Clinical Focus: Designed for real-world medical workflows and deployment. 📊 Introducing ChestAgentBench: We're also releasing ChestAgentBench, a comprehensive medical agent benchmark built from 675 expert-curated clinical cases, featuring 2,500 complex medical queries across 7 categories. Check it out: 🎉 Results speak for themselves: - 63.1% accuracy on ChestAgentBench - State-of-the-art performance on CheXbench - Outperforms both general-purpose and specialized medical models 🙏 Huge shoutout to @adibvafa, Jun Ma (@JunMa_11), AlifMunim, and Hongwei Lyu for their exceptional work on this project! @VectorInst @UHN_Research @UofTCompSci @UofT_LMP

Excellent article in @TheAtlantic. A democracy can hand absolute power to a dictator, leading to the murder of millions and a world war - all under promises to "revive the economy, reduce unemployment, increase military spending, withdraw from international treaty obligations, purge the country of foreigners ... and exact revenge on political opponents". Please 🇺🇸 , we 🇩🇪 have been there!
