Feature Generation Using LLMs: An Evolutionary Algorithm Approach

Aria Nourbakhsh, Benoît Alcaraz, Christoph Schommer

A crucial step in machine learning pipelines is to present each entity with features or attributes that are representative of the characteristics of the processed entities. Feature engineering is an important step in finding a relation among attributes that otherwise may not be processed by the ML algorithms. Meanwhile, Large Language Models have shown promising abilities in coding, mathematical reasoning, and processing world knowledge. In this work, we utilize an LLM for the problem of feature generation from tabular data based on the previously given features. We have created a pipeline that takes a set of attributes and a prompt to generate new features. Then, our selection algorithm selects the best-performing sets of attributes. We apply our method to eight datasets from different domains and data types. Our results show that, in most cases, the language model can produce new features based on mathematical and logical operators that are useful for the given tasks and can improve classification results.

Evaluating LLM Uncertainty in Long-Form Generation Using Deterministic Ground Truth

Ido Amit, Ido Galil, Ran El-Yaniv

As LLMs generate increasingly long outputs, effective uncertainty estimation must identify errors at fine-grained levels rather than discard entire responses. While such methods exist, evaluating uncertainty at any resolution (token to an entire generation) is challenging and hig…

Healthier LLMs: Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Public Health Question Answering

Felix Feldman, Joshua Harris, Timothy Laurence, Leo Loman, Ollie Higgins, Fan Grayson, et al.

Large language models (LLMs) achieve promising results on medical question answering benchmarks, yet their use in public health is constrained by hallucinations and the rapid evolution of official guidance. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) mitigates these risks by grounding r…

EEG-SpikeAgent: Agentic Closed-Loop Program Synthesis for Automated EEG Spike Detection

Sonali Santhosh, Kelly Shuhong Yu, Eugene Chang, Jonathan Kim, Kie Shidara, Danilo Bernardo

Automated detection of interictal epileptiform discharges in scalp electroencephalography (EEG) is clinically important, but recent high-performing deep-learning models often trade interpretability for accuracy. We introduce EEG-SpikeAgent, a closed-loop program-synthesis framewo…
