Team Description:

The Health Information Research Unit (HiRU) at McMaster has a long history of supporting evidence-based medicine (EBM) by providing preappraised evidence to the clinicians who need it quickly, efficiently, and in easy-to-use formats. Through this process, we have accumulated large datasets of high-quality, clinically ready articles that allow for advance machine learning/AI studies. The incorporation of large language models (LLMs) into health care is rapidly growing, and EBM is no exception. LLMs have demonstrated remarkable success in various downstream tasks, including information extraction and evidence summarization of clinical studies and bodies of literature. At HiRU, we have are testing AI-enabled approaches to identifying, curating, summarizing, and appraising clinical evidence while ensuring the quality and trustworthiness of the work we develop. An AI engineer with experience in applying NLP and LLMs is sought to accelerate our research and application in this area. The attached article has more details about the unit
