    How should we evaluate #LLMs for downstream clinical use cases? In this @npjDigitalMed article, we propose a transition from static QA-style benchmarks to dynamic agent-based simulators, similar to methods used in biology, epidemiology & social sciences. nature.com/articles/s4174…

    When "unconfoundedness" is violated, we can't point-identify causal effects from data. In this talk, @YingJin531 explains how to combine conformal prediction & marginal sensitivity models to provide valid inference of ITEs under hidden confounding. Link: youtu.be/aDGCmS-o47Y
