Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Our article discusses the potential of large language model (LLM)-powered search engines to enhance patient education about Mohs surgery while highlighting concerns about empathy, trustworthiness and content accuracy. It emphasizes the variability in the quality of health information on social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram, where patient experiences often lack evidence-based insights. We propose a multifaceted approach to improve LLM outputs, including optimizing patient-centred language, fostering collaborations between dermatologists and LLM developers, and investing in high-quality educational media to bridge informational gaps and support patient care.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
