Solving medicine's data bottleneck: Nightingale Open Science

Open access
Mullainathan, Sendhil, Obermeyer, Ziad·2022·Nature Medicine

Abstract

Open datasets, curated around unsolved medical problems, are vital to the development of computational research in medicine, but remain in short supply. Nightingale Open Science, a non-profit computing platform, was founded to catalyse research in this nascent field.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Deidentification and public release of data, often through consortium models, is an option for data sharing; CAMELYON and BraTS challenges have made large-scale deidentified datasets available, and the Nightingale Open Science Initiative aims to release more.

    “The second option is deidentification and public release of data, usually via a consortium model.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
