Large Language Models in Biomedicine

As one of the largest breakthroughs in AI, ChatGPT has attracted tremendous attention and been applied to various domains. Existing applications include direct applications of ChatGPT, fine-tuning the GPT model by domain-specific data, and developing a ChatGPT-like framework for specific tasks. In this talk, I will demonstrate how ChatGPT-like frameworks can be developed to solve open problems in biomedicine, through the introduction of some of our recent works. In particular, I will introduce our work on predicting the evolution of SARS-COV-2 virus, on designing antibodies with simultaneous optimization of multiple metrics, on SkinGPT4 which is the first multimodal dermatological diagnosis framework, and on PepGPT, a ChatGPT-like framework that can design peptide drugs through interaction with users.
