These advancements lead to faster disease detection, and management and provide personalized healthcare solutions. However, most of the clinical AI methods developed and deployed in hospitals have algorithmic and data-driven biases due to insufficient representation of specific race, gender, and age group which leads to misdiagnosis, disparities, and unfair outcomes. Thus, it is crucial to thoroughly examine these biases and develop computational methods that can mitigate biases effectively. This paper critically analyzes this problem by exploring different types of data and algorithmic biases during both pre-processing and post-processing phases to uncover additional, previously unexplored biases in a widely used real-world healthcare dataset of primary care patients. Additionally, effective strategies are proposed to address gender, race, and age biases, ensuring that risk prediction outcomes are equitable and impartial. Through experiments with various machine learning algorithms leveraging the Fairlearn tool, we have identified biases in the dataset, compared the impact of these biases on the prediction performance, and proposed effective strategies to mitigate these biases. Our results demonstrate clear evidence of racial, gender-based, and age-related biases in the healthcare dataset used to guide resource allocation for patients and have profound impact on the prediction performance which leads to unfair outcomes. Thus, it is crucial to implement mechanisms to detect and address unintended biases to ensure a safe, reliable, and trustworthy AI system in healthcare.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13953,"journal":{"name":"Informatics in Medicine Unlocked","volume":"54 ","pages":"Article 101627"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143519066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, a single drug can bind to multiple targets. In contrast, a single target can also bind to a number of drugs; this complicates the DTI task. Existing silico models often struggle with these challenges, particularly in managing diverse datasets. To address these issues, we introduce the Weighted Average Ensemble Drug–Target Interaction (WAE-DTI) model. Our approach integrates several descriptors and fingerprint representations to enhance prediction accuracy and generalization, namely atom pair fingerprint, Avalon, MACCS, MH, Morgan, RDKit, SEC, topological torsion, and LDP for drug representation, and ESM-2 for target representation. WAE-DTI employs a weighted average ensemble technique to handle diverse datasets effectively.
