Researchers have developed a new method to identify and address intersectional biases in multimodal clinical prediction models. These models, which use data from various sources like text, time series, and images, often exhibit biases that disproportionately affect specific demographic subgroups. The proposed approach focuses on mitigating these biases at the subgroup level, rather than relying on single-attribute strategies, which are insufficient for complex intersectional groups. By leveraging pre-trained clinical language models such as MedBERT, Clinical BERT, and Clinical BioBERT on datasets like MIMIC-Eye and MIMIC-IV ED, the study demonstrates that subgroup-specific bias mitigation is effective across different datasets and embeddings.
