  • Development and application of fair approaches will be critical for implementation of unbiased and interpretable models for Precision Medicine.

    “The development and application of fair approaches will be critical for the implementation of unbiased and interpretable models for Precision Medicine106,116.”
  • The increasing interest in personalized medicine has come on the back of GWAS studies, under the rationale that patient risk can be prognosticated with increasing precision as more is learned about the roles of genes in disease.

    “However, the increasing interest in personalized medicine has really come on the back of GWAS studies, under the rationale that patient risk can be prognosticated with increasing precision as more is learned about the roles of genes in disease [228].”
  • Interest in individual differences in health risk and treatment response has gained great traction over the last decade under the rubric of personalized medicine.

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.
