The document summarizes a research paper that investigated using ChatGPT to generate synthetic clinical text for training models for biological named entity recognition and relation extraction tasks. The researchers found that generating synthetic data with ChatGPT and fine-tuning local models on this data significantly improved performance over both zero-shot ChatGPT and state-of-the-art models, while also addressing privacy concerns with real patient data. The paper demonstrates the potential of leveraging large language models to generate synthetic data for improving clinical text mining applications.
Metabolomic data analysis and visualization toolsDmitry Grapov
This document discusses tools and methods for metabolomic data analysis and visualization. It covers visualization techniques like plots and networks to explore patterns in data. It also discusses statistical analysis methods like ANOVA and clustering for significance testing and pattern detection. Additionally, it discusses predictive modeling, network analysis using pathways, and network mapping to relate metabolites based on biochemical transformations, structural similarity, or empirical dependencies. Common analysis tasks and featured open-source tools are also highlighted.
The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

Insights from Building the Future of Drug Discovery with Apache Spark with Lu...Databricks
Human genetics holds the key to understanding pathogenesis of many devastating diseases like type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. The discovery, development, and commercialization of new classes of drugs can take 10-15 years and greater than $5 billion in R&D investment only to see less than 5% of the drugs make it to market. Committed to creating therapeutic innovations, Regeneron has built one of the world’s most comprehensive genetics databases to supplement our state-of-the-art drug development pipeline. While these massive volumes of data provide an unprecedented opportunity to gain novel therapeutic insights, Regeneron has encountered a number of challenges on the road to delivering on the promises of big data and genomics in drug discovery. For example, how do you enable fast and accurate query from >80B data points? And how do you expedite novel statistical tests on TB-scale data?
This presentation will share Regeneron’s vision for building a scalable and performant informatics infrastructure to accelerate genetics-driven drug development. Specifically, we highlight key challenges in establishing the world’s largest clinical genetics databases, provide an overview of how Regeneron leverages Databricks’ Unified Analytics Platform and Apache Spark, and discuss in detail key engineering innovations that have already come out of this collaborative effort.

Reference Domain Ontologies and Large Medical Language Models.pptxChimezie Ogbuji
Large Language Models (LLMs) have exploded into the modern research and development consciousness and triggered an artificial intelligence revolution. They are well-positioned to have a major impact on Medical Informatics. However, much of the data used to train these revolutionary models are general-purpose and, in some cases, synthetically generated from LLMs. Ontologies are a shared and agreed-upon conceptualization of a domain and facilitate computational reasoning. They have become important tools in biomedicine, supporting critical aspects of healthcare and biomedical research, and are integral to science. In this talk, we will delve into ontologies, their representational and reasoning power, and how terminology systems such as SNOMED-CT, an international master terminology providing comprehensive coverage of the entire domain of medicine, can be used with Controlled Natural Languages (CNL) to advance how LLMs are used and trained.

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has proven to be a useful tool for assessing efficiency or productivity of organizations, which is of vital practical importance in managerial decision making. DEA provides a significant amount of information from which analysts and managers derive insights and guidelines to promote their existing performances. Regarding to this fact, effective and methodologic analysis and interpretation of DEA solutions are very critical. The main objective of this study is then to develop a general decision support system (DSS) framework to analyze the solutions of basic DEA models. The paper formally shows how the solutions of DEA models should be structured so that these solutions can be examined and interpreted by analysts through information visualization and data mining techniques effectively. An innovative and convenient DEA solver, Smart DEA, is designed and developed in accordance with the proposed analysis framework. The developed software provides a DEA solution which is consistent with the framework and is ready-to-analyze with data mining tools, through a table-based structure. The developed framework is tested and applied in a real world project for bench marking the vendors of a leading Turkish automotive company. The results show the effectiveness and the efficacy of the proposed framework.

Automation of (Biological) Data Analysis and Report GenerationDmitry Grapov
I've been experimenting with automating simple and complex data analysis and report generation tasks for biological data and mostly using R and LATEX. You can see some of my progress and challenges encountered.
Genetic algorithms and traditional algorithms differ in their definitions, usages, and complexity. Genetic algorithms are based on genetics and natural selection, and help find optimal solutions to difficult problems. They are more advanced than traditional algorithms which provide step-by-step procedures. Genetic algorithms are used in fields like machine learning and artificial intelligence, while traditional algorithms are used in programming and mathematics.

This document discusses methods for testing, validating, and verifying multi-agent systems. It outlines five sections: motivation, quantitative analysis of general multi-agent systems, qualitative analysis of multi-agent systems with semantically annotated protocols, analysis of multi-agent based simulations used to model ambient intelligence systems, and conclusions and future work. The document motivates the need for improved debugging of complex software systems like multi-agent systems and outlines the author's contributions in developing both quantitative and qualitative analysis approaches.
Importance of ML Reproducibility & Applications with MLfLowDatabricks
With data as a valuable currency and the architecture of reliable, scalable Data Lakes and Lakehouses continuing to mature, it is crucial that machine learning training and deployment techniques keep up to realize value. Reproducibility, efficiency, and governance in training and production environments rest on the shoulders of both point in time snapshots of the data and a governing mechanism to regulate, track, and make best use of associated metadata.
This talk will outline the challenges and importance of building and maintaining reproducible, efficient, and governed machine learning solutions as well as posing solutions built on open source technologies – namely Delta Lake for data versioning and MLflow for efficiency and governance.
The document discusses data curation from data lakes. It describes the data lake paradigm of collecting all data and making it searchable. It then discusses the importance of data curation and normalization to generate value from large and diverse datasets. Examples are provided showing how sample annotations can be normalized and structured to enable complex queries across multiple datasets. The document reflects on challenges around quantifying the value of data curation and need for curation as data volumes increase.
This document compares two solutions for filtering hierarchical data sets: Solution A uses MySQL and Python, while Solution B uses MongoDB and C++. Both solutions were tested on a 2011 MeSH data set using various filtering methods and thresholds. Solution A generally had faster execution times at lower thresholds, while Solution B scaled better to higher thresholds. However, the document concludes that neither solution is clearly superior, and further study is needed to evaluate their performance for real-world human users.
AUTOMATIC CONVERSION OF RELATIONAL DATABASES INTO ONTOLOGIES: A COMPARATIVE A...IJwest
Constructing ontologies from relational databases is an active research topic in the Semantic Web domain.
While conceptual mapping rules/principles of relational databases and ontology structures are being
proposed, several software modules or plug-ins are being developed to enable the automatic conversion of
relational databases into ontologies. However, the correlation between the resulting ontologies built
automatically with plug-ins from relational databases and the database-toontology mapping principles has
been given little attention. This study reviews and applies two Protégé plug-ins, namely, DataMaster and
OntoBase to automatically construct ontologies from a relational database. The resulting ontologies are
further analysed to match their structures against the database-to-ontology mapping principles. A
comparative analysis of the matching results reveals that OntoBase outperforms DataMaster in applying
the database-to-ontology mapping principles for automatically converting relational databases into
ontologies

This document outlines the aim, objectives, scope, and structure of a dissertation on using genetic programming to optimize and combine K nearest neighbor classifiers for intrusion detection. The aim is to use genetic programming with the KDD Cup 1999 dataset to develop a numeric classifier that shows improved performance over individual KNN classifiers. The objectives are to determine if a GP-based numeric classifier outperforms individual KNN classifiers, if GP combination techniques produce higher performance than KNN component classifiers, and if heterogeneous KNN classifier combination performs better than homogeneous combination. The document describes the methodology that will be used, including developing an optimal KNN classifier using fitness evaluation in the first phase and combining optimal KNN classifiers based on ROC curves in the second phase.

The objectives are to determine if a GP-based numeric classifier outperforms individual KNN classifiers, if GP combination techniques produce higher performance than KNN component classifiers, and if heterogeneous KNN classifier combination performs better than homogeneous combination. The document describes the methodology that will be used, including developing an optimal KNN classifier using fitness evaluation in the first phase and combining optimal KNN classifiers based on ROC curves in the second phase.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

18. Advances in Synthetic Data for Data Mining: A Research Overview
Exploring Other Papers
Editor's Notes
Begin by introducing the paper: "Today, I'll be discussing the paper titled 'Does Synthetic Data Generation of LLMs Help Clinical Text Mining?'"
Mention the authors: "This research was conducted by Ruixiang Tang, Xiaotian Han, Xiaoqian Jiang, and Xia Hu."
Provide the publication details: "It was published in March and is a fairly recent paper in a very rapidly evolving and dynamic field of synthetci data and LLMs. It is a well cited and refrenced paper as well, by 34 papers.. "
Rice University; 2 Texas A&M University; 3 University of Texas Health Science Center, School of Biomedical Informatics;
The novelty of this paper lies in its exploration of synthetic data in the healthcare text mining domain, but the crux/differentiating factor is synthetic data. So let's take a look at that.
What is synthetic data and why should you care about it? Definition: Synthetic data is artificially generated data that mimics the characteristics of real-world data. It's created using algorithms and statistical models to simulate the properties and statistical patterns of actual data. In many fields, especially where data privacy is a concern (like healthcare), synthetic data is used for training machine learning models or for testing purposes.The key advantages of synthetic data include:
Privacy and Security: It doesn't contain real user or sensitive information, thereby protecting privacy.
Data Availability and Scalability: Can be generated in large quantities and tailored to specific needs or conditions.
Model Training and Testing: Useful for training machine learning models, especially in situations where real data is scarce or has limitations.
Chatgpt is emerging as a game changer for synthetic data. Because it is capable of generating very high quality data through effective prompting, in large quantities, with very less effort/cost. And let me share an interesting anecdote to emphasise how important this could really be – So we are all mostly familiar with the OAI fiasco that happened just a few weeks ago. It was reported that OAI to overcome training data limitations and is got a the breakthrough in Q*/Q learning models which is what allegedly led to the chaos before sam altman's firing from OAI.So you can clearly see how powerful the effects of synthetic data can be. I've shared here some snippets detailing this report. There is a Forbes article about the Q* breakthrough and OpenAI. There are tweets by famous Silicon Valley AI folks on this matter as well, mentioning synthetic data. For example, I've added a tweet here from Bindu Reddy – an SV founder, she is the CEO of Abacus.AI and previously worked in AI @ Amazon and Google. She says 'As suspected, OAI invented a way to overcome training data limitations with synthetic data When trained with enough examples, models begin to generalize nicely! '
Begin by discussing recent advancements in LLMs: "Large language models, particularly OpenAI's ChatGPT, have shown remarkable capabilities in various tasks. However, their effectiveness in the healthcare sector, specifically in clinical text mining, has been uncertain."
Highlight the study's focus: "This study investigates the potential of ChatGPT in clinical text mining, concentrating on biological named entity recognition and relation extraction tasks."
Address the challenges: "Initial results indicated that direct application of ChatGPT for these tasks was ineffective and raised privacy concerns due to the sensitive nature of patient data."
Introduce the proposed solution: "To address these challenges, the study proposes a novel approach involving the generation of a large volume of high-quality synthetic data using ChatGPT, followed by fine-tuning a local model with this data."
Conclude with the outcomes: "This method significantly improved the performance of downstream tasks, enhancing the F1-score for NER from 23.37% to 63.99% and for RE from 75.86% to 83.59%." Also solved the privacy concern with training on sensitive patient data.
Start with the research problem: "The primary problem addressed in this paper is the effectiveness of Large Language Models, specifically ChatGPT, in the context of clinical text mining. Despite their proven capabilities in various domains, their application in healthcare poses unique challenges."
Discuss papers which talk about state of in Gen AI healthcare: 1. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.04178.pdf
The paper titled "Assistive Chatbots for healthcare: a succinct review" by Basabdatta Sen Bhattacharya and Vibhav Sinai Pissurlenkar focuses on the state-of-the-art in AI-enabled Chatbots in healthcare over the last ten years (2013-2023). The paper discusses the potential of these technologies in enhancing human-machine interaction, reducing reliance on human-human interaction, and saving man-hours. However, it also highlights the lack of trust in these technologies regarding patient safety and data protection, as well as limited awareness among healthcare workers. Additionally, the paper notes patients' dissatisfaction with the Natural Language Processing skills of Chatbots compared to humans, emphasizing the need for thorough checks before deploying ChatGPT in assistive healthcare. The review suggests that to enable the deployment of AI-enabled Chatbots in public health services, there is a need to build technology that is simple and safe to use, and to build confidence in the technology among the medical community and patients through focused training and development, as well as outreach.

Directly uploading patient data poses significant privacy concerns, violating regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
Proposed Solution:
Use ChatGPT to generate a large volume of training data with labels for local model training.
This approach solves the low-resource issue common in healthcare data.
Advantages of Local Models:
Addresses privacy concerns as synthetic data doesn't contain patient-sensitive information.
Enables hospitals to use local models for healthcare tasks while protecting patient data privacy.
Fine-Tuning the Local Language Model:
Context: The study highlights the process of fine-tuning a local pre-trained language model with the generated synthetic data. This process is essential to adapt the model for specific tasks in healthcare, such as NER and RE. The synthetic data, created to mimic real healthcare texts, provides a rich and varied dataset for effectively training the local model, enhancing its performance and suitability for healthcare applications.
Comparative Analysis with SOTA Models:
Context: The paper emphasizes the importance of comparing the performance of the fine-tuned local model with state-of-the-art models. This comparison is vital to assess the efficacy of the synthetic data training approach. The study demonstrates that the fine-tuned model, using synthetic data generated by ChatGPT, shows significant improvement in performance compared to the zero-shot capabilities of ChatGPT and, in some cases, achieves comparable results to models trained on actual datasets.
The paper describes a method for generating synthetic data using ChatGPT to improve performance in biomedical tasks. The process involved:

The result was synthetic data fluent and similar to scientific articles, enhancing the performance in biomedical tasks while addressing privacy concerns.
Example of generated texts.
Ablation Study Overview:
Context: The paper's ablation studies focus on assessing how synthetic data generation impacts the model’s performance. Specifically, these studies analyze the effectiveness of ChatGPT-generated synthetic data in improving the model's ability to accurately perform NER and RE tasks. The variations in synthetic data inputs, like different sentence structures and linguistic patterns, allow for a thorough evaluation of their impact on model performance.
Methodology for NER: The approach involved extracting seed entities from the training set to generate synthetic sentences with entity annotations, setting the number of sentences per entity to 30.
Model Fine-Tuning: Three pre-trained language models (BERT, RoBERTa, BioBERT) were fine-tuned using the synthetic dataset.
Evaluation Metrics: Performance was evaluated using precision, recall, and F1 scores, comparing zero-shot ChatGPT, models fine-tuned on synthetic data, and models fine-tuned on original training sets.
Significant Improvements: Fine-tuning on synthetic data led to substantial improvements in all metrics over the zero-shot scenario, with BERT showing more than 35% improvement in precision, recall, and F1 scores compared to ChatGPT.
Comparable Performance: In some cases, models fine-tuned on synthetic data achieved performance comparable to those fine-tuned on original datasets.
Impact of Synthetic Sentence Quantity: Experiments showed that increasing the number of synthetic sentences improved model performance up to a point, after which improvements were marginal. Adjusting the ratio of synthetic to real entities also enhanced performance, particularly for under-represented entities.
Methodology: The study followed the outlined methodology, sampling three positive and negative examples from a labeled dataset as seeds. For each round, three positive and negative sentences were generated, accumulating 6437 and 6424 examples for GAD and EU-ADR datasets, respectively.
Model Fine-Tuning and Evaluation: Models (BERT, RoBERTa, BioBERT) were fine-tuned using synthetic data and evaluated on precision, recall, and F1 scores, comparing zero-shot ChatGPT, models fine-tuned with synthetic data, and models fine-tuned on original datasets.
Notable Improvements: Fine-tuning on synthetic data showed significant improvements in all metrics over zero-shot performance, with average improvements exceeding 6% in precision, 10% in recall, and 8% in F1 scores.
Comparative Performance: The models trained on synthetic data achieved performance comparable to those fine-tuned on original datasets. Specifically, for the GAD dataset, the synthetic data-trained model outperformed the original dataset.
Impact of Synthetic Sentence Quantity: Experiments indicated that the number of synthetic sentences positively impacts model performance up to a certain threshold. Optimal results were achieved with around 3500 synthetic sentences, and using 80 seed examples was found sufficient for enhancing data quality and diversity.
Avoiding Duplication: Not using seed examples resulted in duplicated synthetic data, significantly dropping model performance.
Concern about Data Leakage: Since ChatGPT is trained on publicly available datasets, there's a concern that it might inadvertently leak information from the datasets used in the experiments.
Method to Address Leakage: To mitigate this, the researchers used a sentence transformer to obtain embeddings of both original and synthetic data, which were then analyzed using T-SNE.
Findings from Data Analysis: The T-SNE analysis showed distinct patterns between synthetic and original data, suggesting that ChatGPT did not simply memorize and reproduce the dataset.
Future Work: The researchers plan to explore methods to generate synthetic data that more closely matches the distribution of the original data, further minimizing the risk of data leakage.
Summarizing Key Results:
Context: The paper reports significant improvements in the F1-score for both NER and RE tasks when using models fine-tuned with synthetic data. For instance, the F1-score for NER improved from 23.37% to 63.99%, and for RE from 75.86% to 83.59%. These results significantly surpass the zero-shot performance of ChatGPT, demonstrating the effectiveness of the synthetic data approach.
Discussing the Implications:
Context: The study underscores the effectiveness of using synthetic data to address both performance limitations in healthcare tasks and privacy concerns. By generating data using ChatGPT, the approach eliminates the need for real patient data, thereby safeguarding privacy. The performance gains observed in comparison to SOTA models highlight the practical potential of this methodology in enhancing LLMs' applicability to clinical text mining tasks, offering a promising avenue for future healthcare-related NLP applications.
