BlueMeme Inc. announced that BlueMeme and Professor Masao Nagasaki (Nagasaki Laboratory, Division of Biomedical Information Analysis, Medical Research Center for High Depth Omics, Medical Institute of Bioregulation, Kyushu University) have initiated a joint research project regarding the social implementation of "Biomedical Language Models using Quantum AI" in April 2023. Joint research initiatives Joint development of biomedical language models** for medical research and clinical treatment. Significant reduction in the number of parameters*** involved in training and inference of large language models through the use of Quantum AI****.

Large Language Models and biomedical information analysis. Recently, the development and widespread use of "Large Language Models" (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, has been rapidly progressing. LLMs enable natural interaction between AI and users and the execution of intellectual production tasks such as mathematical computation and coding by learning extensive amounts of natural language data.

The biological data used in biomedical information analysis is very similar to natural language, thus believe it is highly compatible with the LLMs which are designed to interpret natural language. Therefore, believe that by training a LLM with a vast amount of biomedical data in the biomedical field, it can be used as a "biomedical language model" as one of the tools for disease cause detection and pharmaceutical design. Significant cost reductions in operating biomedical language models through Quantum AI The development and operation of LLMs require extensive computational resources and high costs, preventing small and medium-sized companies, local governments, and research institutes from developing and operating LLMs. To solve this problem, BlueMeme focuses on Quantum AI, which is expected to grow in the future.

Quantum AI is an artificial intelligence technology that uses quantum computers and is expected to reduce the cost of operating LLMs significantly. In particular, Quantum AI allows the training and inference of LLMs, which have been performed on classical computers, to be carried out on quantum computers. This technology would drastically reduce the number of parameters in the model and is expected to reduce the costs associated with operating the model in the future.

Lowering the cost of developing biomedical language models will pave the way for the operational and clinical application in a broader range of research institutions and companies. Accordingly, BlueMeme is collaborating with Professor Masao Nagasaki of Kyushu University to develop language models in the biomedical field using Quantum AI and to promote performance verification for social implementation. Role of both parties.
