Development of a liver disease–specific large language model chat interface using retrieval-augmented generation

Large language models (LLMs) have significant capabilities in clinical information processing tasks. Commercially available LLMs, however, are not optimized for clinical uses and are prone to generating hallucinatory information. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is an enterprise architecture that allows the embedding of customized data into LLMs. This approach "specializes" the LLMs and is thought to reduce hallucinations.
