Julia Ive from UCL will talk about her recent work with ClinicalLLMs. Julia has a strong connection to QMUL. Before she moved to UCL as an associate professor, she was a lecturer here at QMUL and the host of the CogSci seminars for many years. It is our great pleasure to have her back at the CogSci seminar as a speaker this time.


Abstract:
This presentation brings together findings from our recent research on two complementary aspects of clinical LLM use: preserving clinical information through direct extraction and copying, and adapting LLM-generated communication to different cultural contexts. Drawing on our SafeLLM pilot, we will show how retrieving relevant lines from approved UCL hospital protocols can offer a safer mode of using LLMs. We will also present our research on culturally adapted, LLM-assisted mental-health assistance, examining how AI can help account for cultural, religious and socioeconomic contexts.
