Session 1: Scientific Reasoning for Practical Data Science

Episode 1: Critical Reasoning in Medical Machine Learning

Data science in medicine and healthcare requires not only algorithmic and statistical knowledge but also a strong appreciation of the clinical environment in which (i) the data is being collected and (ii) the algorithm will be used. I'll showcase a scenario where a machine learning system failed to perform a "simple" clinical task and how critical reasoning was used to resolve the problem.

Guest-host Kristin Morgan (University of Connecticut) joins us to lead the discussion in how this example is applicable to the broader field of biomedical data science.
