This study asks whether GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can safely and usefully answer questions physicians actually raised during patient care. The authors drew on questions sent to a Stanford informatics consultation service… 2. **[Givenness Hierarchy Theoretic Cognitive Status Filtering](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pal-2020-givenness-hierarchy-theoretic-cognitive-status/)** *(2020 · 2 citations)* Robots that talk need to pick referring forms such as "it", "this" or "that NP" the way people do. The Givenness Hierarchy (GH) ties each form to the cognitive status a referent has for the listener: in focus, activated, familiar, and so on. Earlier full-GH systems by Williams and colleagues served understanding.… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Holistic evaluation of large language models for medical tasks with MedHELM ↗](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-04151-2) Nature Medicine · no summary yet**Suhana Bedi et al.*2026 · 50 citations* 2.
