Qualitative evaluation

Ehud Reiter

Ie, in AI and NLP we usually focus on numbers and quantitative evaluation, and perhaps in some cases this is a mistake. I think my group does more qualitative work than most NLP groups, but my medical colleagues felt we should consider doing even more. There is an extensive literature on qualitative evaluation in medicine.

AI Technology NYUTron Accurately Predicts Health Outcomes

NYU Center for Data Science

The strides in NLP (transformers) and the quality data in Langone electronic health record (EHR) motivated him to envision NYUTron: a BERT model pretrained on ten years of EHR notes, fine-tuned on a battery of tasks for hospital operations, and deployed in a hospital environment to assess its potential impact.
