CCADD, led by Professor Howard Lee, attended the 2026 Spring
Conference of the Korean Society of Medical Informatics (KOSMI). The
conference was held over three days, from June 24 to June 26, 2026, at OSCO in Cheongju and co-hosted by KOSMI and the Korea Health Industry Development Institute
(KHIDI). This
year’s theme was “From Operating System to Operating Society: Next Mission of
Medical Informatics.” The sessions focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and
large language models (LLMs) in medical informatics. Topics ranged from
trustworthy medical AI to lifelog analysis and digital healthcare.
David
Seung U Lee, a postdoctoral researcher at CCADD, gave an oral presentation in
Session 2 (LLM-based Clinical Decision Support) on “DDI-Expert: Explainable
Prediction of Pharmacokinetic Drug Interaction in Humans using Mixture of
Experts.” His work moves beyond the limits of conventional drug–drug
interaction (DDI) prediction. Using a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture
that combines domain adaptation with domain application, it predicts
pharmacokinetic DDI outcomes while also explaining their underlying mechanisms.
Yujin
Kim, a student at CCADD, presented in the e-poster session (Generative AI and
Clinical Text) on “Information Extraction and Structuring from Drug Approval
Review Reports Using Large Language Models.” Her study introduced a pipeline
that accurately extracts and structures information from drug approval review
reports, which often have complex, multi-table layouts, while keeping costs low
and performance high. The work covered the full process from model adaptation
to evaluation.
Both
presentations were well received at the conference. David Seung U Lee received
the Best Oral Presentation Award, and Yujin Kim received the Best Poster Award.
The awards mark another step in CCADD’s continued efforts to advance medical
informatics through LLMs and AI-based approaches. CCADD will continue its
research toward reliable and practical AI applications in healthcare and drug
development.
