项目摘要
The goal of this research project is to develop machine learning techniques for the fair allocation of healthcare services such as those provided by Medicaid. Although such programs provide crucial services to vulnerable populations, many of the individuals who most need these services languish on waiting lists due to limited resources. Machine learning models can potentially improve this situation by predicting individuals' levels of need, which can then be used to prioritize the waiting lists. Providing care to those in need can prevent institutionalization for those individuals, which both improves quality of life and reduces overall costs. While the benefits of such an approach are clear, care must be taken to ensure that the prioritization process is fair. The researchers also plan to address this issue directly by developing fairness definitions and corresponding fair learning algorithms for the task of learning to rank. The proposed techniques for fair prioritization of healthcare have the potential to save lives, as well as taxpayer dollars. This project aims to lead to a deployed solution for Medicaid prioritization in the state of Maryland, where over 8,000 individuals have died on the Medicaid waitlist since the state's Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act began, according to a 2018 report from the Foundation for Government Accountability.This project will develop a machine learning intervention to the processes of ranking individuals in order of priority for receiving healthcare services. The researchers will apply their methods to Medicaid data, which they will access via their ongoing collaboration with colleagues from the Hilltop Institute, a nonpartisan research organization which is dedicated to community-oriented healthcare analytics; they will also evaluate their methods on a public dataset to facilitate research reproducibility. A key goal of the project is to promote fairness in the ranking. In meeting this goal, the project will extend the capabilities of fair machine learning definitions and algorithms to tasks that have not previously been addressed including survival and temporal modeling. To predict individuals' health status, the research team will use survival models to estimate the risk of future institutionalization, such as relocating to a nursing home. The team will use also Cox proportional hazard models; the multiplicative relationship between covariates and risk will serve to aid explainability. The fairness definitions and the corresponding fair learning algorithms for these models will yield risk scores that can then be used to prioritize waiting lists. For waitlists deployed in practice, it will be necessary to continually re-rank the list since individuals enter and leave the list (due to death or institutionalization, for example), and since covariates change for those who remain on the list; reranking should ensure that individuals who need care will eventually reach the front of the list. The proposed work crosses the boundaries of multiple disciplines (machine learning, fairness, health IT, feminism and civil rights) to solve an urgent real-world problem.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该研究项目的目的是开发机器学习技术,以公平地分配医疗服务,例如医疗补助提供的服务。尽管此类计划为弱势群体提供了至关重要的服务,但由于资源有限,许多人最需要这些服务的人会在等待列表中感到沮丧。机器学习模型可以通过预测个人的需求水平来潜在地改善这种情况,然后可以将其用于优先级等待列表。为有需要的人提供护理可以防止这些人的制度化,这既可以提高生活质量并降低总体成本。尽管这种方法的好处是明确的,但必须注意确保优先级的过程是公平的。研究人员还计划通过为学习任务进行排名的任务来开发公平定义和相应的公平学习算法来直接解决此问题。拟议的医疗保健优先级的技术有可能挽救生命以及纳税人的美元。该项目旨在导致马里兰州部署的医疗补助优先次序解决方案,因为根据政府问责制的2018年报告,该项目将在接受医疗服务的范围内开发机器学习干预措施,从而在获得优先级的医疗服务方面开发了一项机器学习干预措施。研究人员将将其方法应用于医疗补助数据,他们将通过与Hilltop Institute的持续合作访问,这是一个无党派研究组织,该组织致力于以社区为导向的医疗保健分析;他们还将在公共数据集上评估他们的方法,以促进研究可重复性。该项目的关键目标是促进排名公平。在实现此目标时,该项目将将公平机器学习定义和算法的功能扩展到以前未解决的任务,包括生存和时间建模。为了预测个人的健康状况,研究小组将使用生存模型来估计未来制度化的风险,例如搬迁到疗养院。该团队还将使用COX比例危害模型;协变量和风险之间的乘法关系将有助于解释。这些模型的公平定义和相应的公平学习算法将产生风险分数,然后可以将其用于优先级等待列表。对于部署在实践中的候补名单,由于个人输入并留下列表(例如,由于死亡或制度化),有必要不断将清单重新排列,并且由于该名单上的人的协变量变化;重读应确保需要护理的个人最终将进入名单的最前面。拟议的工作跨越了多个学科(机器学习,公平,健康,女权主义和公民权利)的界限,以解决紧急的现实世界问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务,并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估通过评估来获得支持的。
