Researchers have identified significant issues with how large language models generate explanations for multimodal dementia prognosis. A study using the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative found that models often attribute predictions to modalities that were not observed, a problem termed "phantom attribution." Even when prompted to acknowledge missing data, the models struggled to accurately advise on the impact of obtaining these missing tests, with accuracy rates as low as 27% until specific restoration techniques were applied. The research also highlighted that the scale of the language model, rather than prompting strategies, was the primary factor in the faithfulness of the generated explanations. AI
