📢 My lab at UCLA is hiring PhD students and postdocs! Please apply to UCLA CS or CompMed and mention my name if you are interested in foundation models and (Gen)AI for health / medicine / science. More info: cs.ucla.edu/~yuzhe

🚨 Let your wearable data "speak" for themselves! ⌚️🗣️ Introducing *SensorLM*, a family of sensor-language foundation models, trained on ~60 million hours of data from >103K people, enabling robust wearable sensor data understanding with natural language. 🧵

🩻⚖️ AI underdiagnoses Black female patients A new study found that expert-level vision-language models for chest X-rays systematically underdiagnose marginalised groups – especially Black women – more than radiologists. 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adq0305 #SciComm #AI #HealthEquity 🧪

Do foundation models in medical imaging see everyone fairly?🤔 Excited to share our new Science Advances paper uncovering & auditing demographic biases of expert-level VLMs, and comparing to board-certified radiologists🧑‍⚕️ 📄science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adq0305 💻github.com/YyzHarry/vlm-fairness (1/)

Just published in Nature Biomedical Engineering! Working with the incredible PhD student Wei Qiu and our brilliant collaborator Kamila Naxerova at Harvard was a great pleasure. Our deep profiling framework enables us to view 18 human cancers through the lens of AI! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Seven years ago, Scott Lundberg, presented our SHAP framework at the NeurIPS 2017 conference. Since then, SHAP has become one of the most widely used feature attribution methods, with our paper receiving approximately 30,000 citations. It's wonderful that SHAP's birthday aligns perfectly with mine!😊

I will be at #NeurIPS and #ML4H all next week — let me know if you would like to catch up in person! 📢 I am also recruiting PhD students! Drop me an email if you're attending NeurIPS and would like to chat or learn more 😀

Here is a #compbio starter kit! go.bsky.app/QVPoZXp To all the #Bioinformatics #Genomics #MachineLearning folks: please RP and let’s build this together!

⌚️ Check out our latest work on scaling foundation models for large-scale multimodal wearable sensor data!

Hello world! I’m recruiting ~3 PhD students for Fall 2025 at UCLA 🚀 Please apply to UCLA CS or CompMed if you are interested in ML and (Gen)AI for healthcare / medicine / science. See my website for more on my research & how to apply: people.csail.mit.edu/yuzhe
