The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper asks whether ChatGPT, a general-purpose chatbot, can classify electronic health records as normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, or Alzheimer's disease using MRI volumes and cognitive-test scores. Its central claim is that it can, provided the prompt includes 100 labeled examples of each class: under that multi-shot condition, with both data modalities, ChatGPT reaches 94.6 percent accuracy, 95.0 percent recall, and 94.6 percent precision at a 75 percent confidence threshold. The result is offered as evidence that a chatbot used as a black box, without any access to its internal states, could act as a supportive diagnostic tool, particularly where dementia specialists are scarce and automating part of the workflow could speed up triage. This is why the question matters: a chat interface plus a spreadsheet might become a first-pass screening step for Alzheimer's disease.

What carries the argument

The load-bearing technique is multi-shot prompting, a prompting strategy in which the text prompt embeds labeled example records alongside the unlabeled records to be classified. Here the examples are 100 complete records from each of the three diagnostic classes, normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease, and the input fields are seven MRI volume features plus twelve cognitive-test features; ChatGPT is asked to give a class and a confidence score from 0 to 100 for every uploaded record. The 75 percent threshold selects only predictions the model is at least 75 percent sure about, which is the setting that produces the 0.946 accuracy. The technique does the work by giving the model a small in-context training set, so the same general-purpose model can align the numeric columns with the requested labels without any fine-tuning.

What would settle it

Re-run the multi-shot condition with a participant-level exclusion: remove every record belonging to any participant whose record was one of the 300 examples, classify the remaining records, and compare accuracy at the 75 percent threshold; a large drop below 0.946 would show the reported accuracy depends on overlap between examples and test records rather than on the model's diagnostic ability.

Watch

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The paper's central claim is that ChatGPT can serve as a supportive tool to diagnose Alzheimer's disease, and the measured basis for that claim is the multi-shot prompting condition. With 100 labeled examples per class in the prompt and both MRI and cognitive-test features, ChatGPT reaches accuracy 0.946, recall 0.950, precision 0.946, and F1 0.948 at the 75 percent confidence threshold, with an expected calibration error of 0.066 and a maximum calibration error of 0.140. The same input setup without examples, zero-shot, reaches only 0.744 accuracy on the combined data, and the combined data beat either modality alone in every condition, with cognitive tests alone at 0.809 and MRI alone at 0.606 for multi-shot. The paper reads this as evidence that in-context examples and multimodal input jointly make a general-purpose chat model accurate enough to be considered a supportive diagnostic tool.

Load-bearing premise

The 94.6 percent figure stands only if the 300 example records put in the prompt come from participants who are entirely absent from the records being scored, and the paper never states that this is the case.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • If the claim holds, a clinic with no local AI team could screen Alzheimer's cases by preparing a spreadsheet of MRI and cognitive-test values and running a chat prompt, since the method needs no model training or dedicated infrastructure.
  • The gain from zero-shot to multi-shot on combined data, from 0.744 to 0.946 accuracy, shows that a modest number of labeled examples, not task-specific fine-tuning, is what unlocks the diagnostic behavior.
  • The consistent advantage of combining MRI volumes with cognitive-test scores implies that diagnostic prompts should include both modalities rather than relying on a single test.
  • The reported calibration, with an expected calibration error of 0.066 at the 75 percent threshold, implies that the model's confidence values could be used to separate high-certainty predictions, which might be accepted automatically, from low-certainty ones, which should be referred to a specialist.
  • Repeating the best condition five times with cleared chat histories produces accuracy 0.946 ± 0.001, so the result appears stable across independent runs of the same prompt.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • I infer that a participant-level split would be the decisive generalization test: the paper mixes 9,300 records from 1,480 participants with repeated visits, and it never states that the 300 example participants are excluded from the evaluated file.
  • I would expect the accuracy to be sensitive to the number and composition of examples, since only the 100-per-class case is tested; trying 20 or 50 examples per class would show the practical floor for the method.
  • The same in-context classification template could plausibly transfer to other tabular medical data such as lab values or vital signs, but the paper provides no evidence for that transfer.
  • Because predictions go through a natural-language chat interface, small wording changes in the prompt could shift results; the paper does not test prompt sensitivity.

Referee Report

5 major / 5 minor

Summary. The paper evaluates whether ChatGPT (GPT-4-turbo) can classify ADNI electronic health records into Normal Control, Mild Cognitive Impairment, or Alzheimer's Disease using MRI features, cognitive test scores, or both, under zero-shot and multi-shot prompting. In the multi-shot condition with 100 labeled examples per class and combined MRI+cognitive features, the authors report accuracy of 0.946, recall 0.950, precision 0.946, and F1 0.948 at a 75% confidence threshold (Table 5). They conclude that 'ChatGPT can be a supportive tool to diagnose AD' (Section 7). The paper includes calibration metrics (ECE/MCE) and repeated runs (five per condition) with chat history cleared between runs.

Significance. If the reported performance were robust, the result would be notable: a black-box, general-purpose LLM achieving high diagnostic accuracy on structured EHR data with only a few hundred in-context examples, with potential implications for resource-limited settings facing a shortage of AD specialists. However, the significance is substantially tempered by the absence of any non-LLM baseline, the post hoc selection of the 75% confidence threshold, and the lack of a documented participant-level split between the in-context examples and the evaluated records. The paper does provide a clear task formulation, multiple performance and calibration metrics, and repeated runs per condition, but the experimental design as reported does not support the central claim as stated.

major comments (5)
  1. [§3 and §5.2] The multi-shot evaluation has a serious participant-leakage risk. Section 3 states that 1,480 participants contribute 9,300 records via repeated visits, but Section 5.2 only says that 100 samples per class were selected for the prompt, without stating whether those participants were excluded from the evaluated file (Multi_Shot_ADNI.csv). If any participant appears in both the prompt examples and the evaluation set, the high accuracy (0.946) could be inflated by the model recognizing highly correlated repeated visits from the same person, rather than diagnosing unseen participants. The paper must either provide evidence of a participant-level split or rerun the experiments with a held-out participant set.
  2. [§6.2, Table 5] No baseline classifier is reported. The paper compares zero-shot versus multi-shot prompting only, but the claim that ChatGPT is a 'supportive tool' requires comparison with a simple supervised model (e.g., logistic regression, random forest) on the same features. Without such a baseline, it is impossible to judge whether 0.946 accuracy reflects a distinctive capability of the LLM or merely the high signal contained in the cognitive-test and MRI features.
  3. [§5.2 and §7] The 75% confidence threshold is described in Section 7 as 'optimal', but it is selected post hoc from the reported 25/50/75% thresholds. Additionally, the paper does not report how many records remain after applying each threshold; if the metrics are computed only on high-confidence records, accuracy is inflated by design. The authors should pre-register the threshold or select it on a validation split, and they should report coverage (the number of classified records) for every threshold.
  4. [§5.1, Tables 3 and 5] The evaluation metrics are defined only for binary classification (TP/TN/FP/FN), but the task is three-class (NC/MCI/AD). The paper does not specify whether precision, recall, and F1 are macro-averaged, micro-averaged, or computed one-vs-rest, nor how the confidence threshold is applied to three-class predictions. This ambiguity hinders reproducibility and makes the reported numbers difficult to interpret.
  5. [§7 vs. Table 4] Section 7 states that 'multi-shot prompting achieves ECE and MCE values of 0.066 and 0.005, respectively', but Table 4 reports MCE = 0.140 ± 0.005 for the same condition. The '0.005' appears to be a typo (perhaps the standard deviation), but it is a factual inconsistency in the conclusion that a reader would rely on.
minor comments (5)
  1. [Figure 1] The prompt text in Figure 1 contains typos in feature names: 'WholeBrai' should be 'WholeBrain' and 'RAVLT_perc_fO' has inconsistent capitalization; these should be standardized.
  2. [§4.1 and §4.2] The probability-based equations g(r,c; T, P, K) are not operational: they do not describe how the model's confidence score is parsed from the free-text output or how the arg max is computed. A short pseudocode or a description of the output parsing would be more useful.
  3. [§6.1 and §6.2] The tables show MCE as identical across thresholds for some modalities (e.g., Table 2, MRI: MCE=0.495 for all thresholds), which is suspicious if MCE is recomputed on threshold-filtered subsets. Please clarify whether MCE is computed on all predictions or only on those meeting the threshold.
  4. [References] Reference [39] is missing page/article numbers; also, the reference list mixes preprint and published versions (e.g., [15] and [44] are the same paper). Please harmonize.
  5. [Abstract] The abstract says '9300 electronic health records (EHRs)'; Section 3 correctly notes that these are 9,300 records from 1,480 participants with repeated visits. The wording in the abstract is slightly misleading and should explicitly mention the longitudinal structure.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the paper is an empirical benchmark, not a derivation, and no result reduces to its inputs by construction.

full rationale

The paper makes no formal derivation; its central claim is an empirical benchmark of ChatGPT on ADNI records. The load-bearing 'multi-shot' accuracy (Table 5) is a measurement, not a fitted quantity: 100 labeled examples per class are placed in the prompt, which is the standard mechanism of in-context learning, and the reported metrics are computed on a separate uploaded file (Multi_Shot_ADNI.csv). No equation in the paper defines the target metric in terms of the prompt examples, and no fitted parameter is renamed as a prediction. Self-citations [4]-[6] are contextual and not load-bearing. A methodological limitation—that the paper does not explicitly document participant-level disjointness between the 300 in-context examples and the evaluated records—would be a validity or leakage concern, not circularity, because there is no construction-level identity between the examples and the scored labels. Therefore no circular step can be exhibited under the required standard, and the appropriate finding is no significant circularity.

Assumptions & free parameters 2 free parameters · 4 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The evaluation depends on ADNI labels as ground truth, on the selected features being sufficient for diagnosis, on treating ChatGPT's self-reported confidence as a probability, and on the assumption that in-context example records are independent of test records at the participant level. No new physical or mathematical entities are introduced.

free parameters (2)
  • confidence threshold = 0.75
    Evaluated at 25%, 50%, 75% on the test data and then reported as the optimal threshold in the conclusion.
  • number of in-context examples per class = 100
    Chosen without ablation; the multi-shot accuracy depends on this arbitrary count.
assumptions (4)
  • domain assumption ADNI clinical labels (NC, MCI, AD) are correct gold-standard diagnoses
    The evaluation treats the DX column as ground truth (Section 3 and prompt in Figure 1).
  • domain assumption The selected tabular features are sufficient for AD diagnosis
    Only 7 MRI volumes and 12 cognitive test scores are used; no history, biomarkers, or imaging interpretation (Section 3, Figure 1).
  • domain assumption ChatGPT's self-reported confidence score behaves like a probability
    ECE/MCE and threshold filtering rely on the 0-100% confidence output as a calibrated probability (Section 5.1).
  • domain assumption Multi-shot example records and evaluated records are independent at the participant level
    No participant-level split is described; without this assumption, accuracy can be inflated (Sections 3 and 5.2).

Can ChatGPT diagnose Alzheimer's Disease (AD)? AD is a devastating neurodegenerative condition that affects approximately 1 in 9 individuals aged 65 and older, profoundly impairing memory and cognitive function. This paper utilises 9300 electronic health records (EHRs) with data from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and cognitive tests to address an intriguing question: As a general-purpose task solver, can ChatGPT accurately detect AD using EHRs? We present an in-depth evaluation of ChatGPT using a black-box approach with zero-shot and multi-shot methods. This study unlocks ChatGPT's capability to analyse MRI and cognitive test results, as well as its potential as a diagnostic tool for AD. By automating aspects of the diagnostic process, this research opens a transformative approach for the healthcare system, particularly in addressing disparities in resource-limited regions where AD specialists are scarce. Hence, it offers a foundation for a promising method for early detection, supporting individuals with timely interventions, which is paramount for Quality of Life (QoL).
