Addressing imbalanced healthcare datasets using MCRAGE to improve fairness in machine learning models.
Streszczenie
The content discusses the importance of balanced healthcare datasets and introduces the MCRAGE approach to address imbalances. It covers the challenges of biased machine learning models, the significance of electronic health records (EHRs), and the methodology behind MCRAGE. The paper outlines related works, synthetic data generation for EHRs, denoising diffusion probabilistic models, and the specifics of CDDPM. It details methods, numerical experiments, sample quality evaluation, classifier fairness assessment, discussion of results, future work, and limitations.
Statystyki
Machine learning models trained on class-imbalanced EHR datasets perform significantly worse for minority groups.
MCRAGE aims to augment imbalanced datasets using a deep generative model.
Performance is measured using Accuracy, F1 score, and AUROC.
Theoretical justification provided for method based on convergence results for DDPMs.
Cytaty
"We propose a novel framework, MCRAGE, for applying a CDDPM or other generative model to generate synthetic samples of minority class individuals."
"Our method showcases effectiveness even on maladapted datasets."
"The MCRAGE treated classifier shows a 4.69% increase in F1 score over the imbalanced classifier."
