The Human Algorithm Collaboration Lab — or HACLab — has entered an exciting new chapter.
After years of impactful work at Penn Medicine, HACLab officially transitioned to its new home at Emory University in Fall 2024. With this move comes a reinvigorated mission, a growing team, and a dynamic network of partners committed to shaping the future of healthcare through human-centered AI.
Updates from HACLab for June 2024 including highlights from the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting!

In the first entry of this series, we examined how algorithms can be biased on a variety of factors, including their underlying data, biased individuals creating models, or from statistical mischaracterizations from models themselves. In this entry, Caleb Hearn et al. explore how bias in algorithms is identified and quantified according to a few different statistical concepts and metrics.

Algorithms leverage existing data to predict an outcome, using inputs that are associated with the outcome. One problem with the forthcoming tide of machine learning algorithms is that such algorithms can be biased. In this blog, we start exploring the concept of "Algorithmic Bias"

Algorithms are routinely used in the clinic to make decisions on patient care. Over time these algorithms may deteriorate in performance. Here, we start the explore the concept of “performance drift”.
