This study investigates skin tone biases in large language models when evaluating common dermatological conditions. We systematically analyze model performance across diverse skin tones, revealing significant performance disparities that could lead to inequitable healthcare outcomes. Our findings highlight the need for more representative training data and bias mitigation strategies in medical AI systems.
The application takes 5 minutes and is reviewed on a rolling basis. We look for strong technical signal—projects, coursework, or competition results—and a genuine curiosity to do real research.
If admitted, you will join a structured pipeline with direct mentorship to take your work from ideation to top conference submission at venues like NeurIPS, ACL, and EMNLP.
