The healthcare industry requires accuracy and highly interpretable models. Depending on the application domain in healthcare (clinical versus operational), the models can range from forecasting to segmentation and clustering to classification and regression, including areas like natural language processing (NLP) and image processing. However, the data is usually plagued by missing information and incorrect values, so data preparation and developing a good model with interpretability are both time-consuming tasks.
Enter AutoML and auto-model interpretability. Taposh DuttaRoy and Sabrina Dahlgren discuss tools and strategies for AutoML and interpretability and explain how Kaiser Permanente uses them to improve time to develop and deploy highly interpretable models.
Use cases include:
