A Guided AI Framework for Customizable and Efficient Harmonisation to the OMOP Common Data Model

Getting clinical data from different sources to "talk" to each other within the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) is arguably the most tedious part of multi-center research. While this integration is essential, the transformation process is frequently a manual grind, requiring a rare overlap of deep clinical knowledge and technical expertise. In this paper, we present a framework designed to alleviate…

Compression Is Prediction — and It Explains Why LLMs Actually Work

Here's something that blew my mind recently: compression and language modeling are, at their core, trying to solve the exact same problem.

  • LLMs function as advanced compression algorithms predicting next data in sequence
  • Training minimizes cross-entropy loss, reducing bits to encode training data
  • Improved compression methods enhance LLM performance and expand capabilities
