Title
Interpretable machine learning models for lung cancer screening
Summary
The goal of my lab is to produce interpretable machine learning models and test them on publicly available data. We hope to provide clinical tools for lung cancer screening using machine learning where the algorithms not only provide predictions but also explanations for how the predictions were made.
Aims

- Create machine learning tools for interpretable modeling
- Test them on publicly available data
- Work with clinicians to develop measures of interpretability specific to lung cancer screening
