Show abstract
This paper explores the use of machine learning (ML) for predictive modeling on clinical data from the EMory BrEast imaging Dataset (EMBED) [1] with a focus on ML model fairness analysis. The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate fair machine learning models that can accurately predict breast cancer risk. We trained and tested various machine-learning models. Our findings show that machine learning can be effective for predicting breast cancer risk or diagnosing breast cancer, and that fairness considerations are crucial in the development of such models. Overall, our study highlights the potential of machine learning for clinical applications while emphasizing the need for ethical and fair practices in this field.
