What Can Artificial Intelligence Learn from Medicine? Generative Analogies and Reliable Machine Learning Systems

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper examines how machine learning (ML) in medicine parallels clinical translation, framing this relationship as a generative analogy. It identifies epistemic and methodological warrants from clinical translation that are often invoked in ML discussions and analyzes how these warrants apply analogically to ML. The authors propose a new form of ML reliabilism, interpreting clinical translation warrants in reliabilist terms and showing how this perspective can inform ML systems distinct from existing reliabilist accounts in philosophy of AI.

Teaching agentic AI to learn expert reasoning for rare disease diagnosis

arXiv:2606. 16149v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Rare disease diagnosis depends on expert reasoning that is scarce and difficult to transfer; off-the-shelf large language models (LLMs) rank the correct disease first in only 35.

Language Is an Insufficient Substrate for Quantitative Reasoning, and Consequential Domains Need Large Quantitative Models

The article argues that large language models (LLMs) are inadequate for consequential quantitative tasks such as pricing, risk assessment, and medical triage because language is a lossy representation of quantitative data that cannot be reversed. It formalizes this limitation as a property of the training representation rather than model capacity and identifies three essential properties—reproducibility, traceable lineage to source records, and calibrated uncertainty—that language substrates cannot provide. The authors propose a new class of models, Large Quantitative Models (LQMs), designed to meet these requirements.
