Recent methodological advances in federated learning for healthcare

24 June 2024

Federated learning (FL) promises to solve the challenges of applying machine learning methods within healthcare, such as isolated datasets, ethical, privacy, and logistical concerns with data sharing, and the lack of diversity in single-center datasets. By connecting multiple sites and keeping data at their source, FL can...

The curious case of the test set AUROC

4 April 2024

The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) is a staple within machine learning for reporting model performance and assessing model generalisability. However, CMIH researchers demonstrate that reporting the AUROC alone for a test set masks not only domain shift between validation and test data but...

The impact of imputation quality on machine learning classifiers for datasets with missing values

6 October 2023

Classifying samples in incomplete datasets is a common aim for machine learning practitioners, but is non-trivial. Missing data is found in most real-world datasets and these missing values are typically imputed using established methods, followed by classification of the now complete samples. The focus of the machine...
