claimGenome-wide assays and brain scans show diminishing returns in detecting autism, according to researchers at McGill and MILA.
procedureResearchers at McGill and MILA used deep learning to interpret clinician thinking by pre-training on hundreds of millions of general sentences and applying large language models to over 4,000 free-form health records to distinguish confirmed from suspected autism cases.
claimThe extended large language model architecture developed by researchers at McGill and MILA identified stereotyped repetitive behaviors, special interests, and perception-based behavior as the most critical DSM-5 criteria for autism.
perspectiveThe findings from the McGill and MILA study suggest that current diagnostic criteria for autism, which focus on deficits in social interplay, need to be revised.
claimThe clinical intuition of healthcare professionals, derived from longstanding first-hand experience, remains the most effective method for diagnosing autism, according to researchers at McGill and MILA.
