New research questions AUC-based fairness metrics in clinical AI

A new paper published on Hugging Face explores the complexities of fairness metrics in clinical AI prediction models, specifically focusing on metrics derived from the Area Under the Curve (AUC). The research highlights that AUC is a non-collapsible metric, meaning subgroup and overall AUC values are not directly comparable, which challenges the interpretation of existing fairness metrics. The study critically appraises eight AUC-based fairness metrics and recommends reporting an AUC matrix that includes overall, within-group, and cross-group AUC components. For fairness metrics, the paper suggests using within-group AUC parity, with cross-group AUC parity as supplementary information requiring careful interpretation. AI

IMPACT This research highlights potential issues with current fairness evaluation methods in clinical AI, suggesting a need for more robust and interpretable metrics.

    Fairness Metrics based on the AUC in Clinical Predictive AI

    Fairness evaluation of clinical prediction models for binary outcomes often involves fairness metrics that compare the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC, or c-statistic) across subgroups. However, the AUC has been shown to be a non-collapsible metric, me…
