Dr. Liu and his team developed a unique method to retrieve and inject domain knowledge into large language models (LLMs) for answering medical questions. Rather than relying on intricate fine-tuning or costly re-training processes, they provided a simple and efficient solution that improves performance by optimizing LLM's input context. The School of Computing congratulates Dr. Liu on his award! Type of News/Audience: Research
