Healthsheet: Development of a Transparency Artifact for Health Datasets

1 code implementation26 Feb 2022 Negar Rostamzadeh, Diana Mincu, Subhrajit Roy, Andrew Smart, Lauren Wilcox, Mahima Pushkarna, Jessica Schrouff, Razvan Amironesei, Nyalleng Moorosi, Katherine Heller

Our findings from the interviewee study and case studies show 1) that datasheets should be contextualized for healthcare, 2) that despite incentives to adopt accountability practices such as datasheets, there is a lack of consistency in the broader use of these practices 3) how the ML for health community views datasheets and particularly \textit{Healthsheets} as diagnostic tool to surface the limitations and strength of datasets and 4) the relative importance of different fields in the datasheet to healthcare concerns.

Thinking Beyond Distributions in Testing Machine Learned Models

no code implementations6 Dec 2021 Negar Rostamzadeh, Ben Hutchinson, Christina Greer, Vinodkumar Prabhakaran

Deep Cox Mixtures for Survival Regression

5 code implementations16 Jan 2021 Chirag Nagpal, Steve Yadlowsky, Negar Rostamzadeh, Katherine Heller

Survival analysis is a challenging variation of regression modeling because of the presence of censoring, where the outcome measurement is only partially known, due to, for example, loss to follow up.
