She/her.https://bsky.app/profile/monicaagrawal.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/monicaagrawal.bsky.social/post/3ltzfpei2sc2cExcited to be at #ICML2025 to present our paper on 'pragmatic misalignment' in (deployed!) RAG systems: narrowly "accurate" responses that can be profoundly misinterpreted by readers. It's especially dangerous for consequential domains like medicine! arxiv.org/pdf/2502.1489815 Jul 2025 17:15 +0000at://did:plc:qcp7uiuouobkysepexrukcin/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltzfpei2sc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/monicaagrawal.bsky.social/post/3lsw6s7k4hc2t🩺 General LLMs perform well on clinical NLP tasks, even though they never see EHR data. How? 🚀 Our CHIL 2025 paper, led by my PhD student Furong Jia, probes the pre-training datasets behind popular LLMs to investigate how online medical sources drive performance. 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.1502401 Jul 2025 17:08 +0000at://did:plc:qcp7uiuouobkysepexrukcin/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsw6s7k4hc2thttps://bsky.app/profile/monicaagrawal.bsky.social/post/3lbaqfgumgk2qI am recruiting PhD students at Duke!
