Mayo Clinic's secret weapon against AI hallucinations: Reverse RAG in action


To tackle data-retrieval-based hallucinations in non-diagnostic use cases, Mayo Clinic has applied CURE reverse RAG paired with vector databases.

“With this approach of referencing source information through links, extraction of this data is no longer a problem,” Matthew Callstrom, Mayo’s medical director for strategy and chair of radiology, told VentureBeat. Models may retrieve irrelevant, inaccurate or low-quality data; fail to determine if information is relevant to the human ask; or create outputs that don’t match requested formats (like bringing back simple text rather than a detailed table). AI could support gene transcription, or the process of copying a DNA sequence, to create reference points to other patients and help build a risk profile or therapy paths for complex diseases.
