Machine Learning for Healthcare

The Gist​

  • The model is never separate from the task.
  • Data are generated, not given.
  • Representation is a scientific claim.
  • Generalization is contextual.
  • Modern AI does not remove classical baselines.
  • Deployment creates new distributions.

Thinking about these, meditating over them, realizing them in practice (esp. learning by making mistakes), is far more important than knowing the specifics of some ‘hot’ new model or approach.
