Take inspiration from AI innovation
Med-PaLM is a large language model that is designed to answer medical questions. It was built based on Google’s existing LLM PaLM, but it was adapted for answering medical questions through training with clinicians. The Med-PaLM model is exciting because it demonstrates the potential for a model that already exists like PaLM to be specialized through training with experts in the field.
A multimodal model is an AI model that can accept and learn from multiple types of input, such as images, video, or audio
- AI tools that incorporate multimodal models can perform additional tasks beyond what a model that analyzes just one type of data can do
- Med-PaLM has a multimodal version called Med-PaLM M. As a multimodal model, Med-PaLM M can do more than answer text-based medical questions. It can interpret several types of biomedical data, including language, medical imaging, and genomic data.
