Mitigating bias in machine learning for medicine

Abstract

Several sources of bias can affect the performance of machine learning systems used in medicine and potentially impact clinical care. Here, we discuss solutions to mitigate bias across the different development steps of machine learning-based systems for medical applications. Vokinger et al. discuss potential sources of bias in machine learning systems used in medicine. The authors propose solutions to mitigate bias across the different stages of model development, from data collection and preparation to model evaluation and application.
