Google introduces ChatGPT-like ChatBot for healthcare

With the release of large language models like GPT-3 and PaLM, big techs have been experimenting with them for quite some time now. Recently, Google also joined the party as a response to Open AI’s ChatGPT, called the MultiMediaQA, but specifically for answering medical queries.

Introducing MultiMedQA
While ChatGPT seems to be all over the place with no real use cases, Google Research and DeepMind recently introduced MultiMedQA, an open-sourced large language model for medical purposes. It combines HealthSearchQA, a new free-response dataset of medical questions sought online, with six existing open-question answering datasets covering professional medical exams, research, and consumer queries.

The model also incorporates methodology for evaluating human model responses along several axes, including factuality, precision, potential harm, and bias. Analytics India
