🎉 And another recent graduate—congrats to Kiana Aghakasiri on defending her MSc! Her thesis exposes gaps in LLM-based clinical de-identification evaluation and proposes new methods for detecting clinical information loss. Best wishes! 🎓 #PHAIR #UAlberta #LLM #HealthcareAI

🎉 Congrats to Mohammad Tavakoli on defending his MSc! His thesis introduces a framework for generating 10M-token conversations and a cognition-inspired memory architecture that outperforms RAG baselines. Wishing him the best! 🎓 #PHAIR #UAlberta #LLM #HealthcareAI

Congratulations to Jerry (Tian Xiang Du) on successfully defending his thesis "Label-Boost: Label-Efficient Medical Image Classification"! His work tackles the labeling bottleneck in medical ML by using probabilistic pseudo-labels to decrease reliance on expert data annotations.
