OBJECTIVE: Data sets with demographic imbalances can introduce bias in deep learning models and potentially amplify existing health disparities. We evaluated the reporting of demographics and potential biases in publicly available chest radiograph (C...
Deep learning (DL) is a powerful machine learning technique that has increasingly been used to predict surgical outcomes. However, the large quantity of data required and lack of model interpretability represent substantial barriers to the validity a...
Standfirst: AI-based models may amplify pre-existing human bias within datasets; addressing this problem will require fundamental a realignment of the culture of software development.
An increasing number of recent studies have suggested that doubly robust estimators with cross-fitting should be used when estimating causal effects with machine learning methods. However, not all existing programs that implement doubly robust estima...
The black-box nature of current artificial intelligence (AI) has caused some to question whether AI must be explainable to be used in high-stakes scenarios such as medicine. It has been argued that explainable AI will engender trust with the health-c...
The accompanying article by Jiang et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2021;190(9):1830-1840) extends quantitative bias analysis from the realm of statistical models to the realm of machine learning algorithms. Given the rooting of statistical models in the spiri...
Machine learning is gaining prominence in the health sciences, where much of its use has focused on data-driven prediction. However, machine learning can also be embedded within causal analyses, potentially reducing biases arising from model misspeci...
