An Empirical Analysis of Calibration and Selective Prediction in Multimodal Clinical Condition Classification
arXiv:2603.02719v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As artificial intelligence systems move toward clinical deployment, ensuring reliable prediction behavior is fundamental for safety-critical decision-making tasks. One proposed safeguard is selective prediction, where models can defer uncertain predictions to human experts for review. In this work, we empirically evaluate the reliability of uncertainty-based selective prediction in multilabel clinical condition classification using multimodal ICU data. Across a range of state-of-the-art unimodal and multimodal models, we find that selective p
As AI systems advance, the focus is shifting from pure accuracy to safety and reliability, especially in critical sectors like healthcare, driven by increasing regulatory and ethical scrutiny.
Ensuring the reliable and safe deployment of AI in clinical settings is crucial for public trust and effective integration, directly impacting patient outcomes and healthcare system efficiency.
The empirical findings on selective prediction's reliability in multimodal clinical condition classification provide concrete data for developing more trustworthy AI in medicine, moving beyond theoretical safeguards.
