Latest AI and machine learning research in arthritis for healthcare professionals.
OBJECTIVES: We propose and test a framework to detect disease diagnosis using a recent large language model (LLM), Meta's Llama-3-8B, on French-language electronic health record (EHR) documents. Specifically, it focuses on detecting gout ('goutte' in French), a ubiquitous French term that has multiple meanings beyond the disease. The study compares the performance of the LLM-based framework with t...
