About the Lab

Led by David Sontag, the Clinical Machine Learning Group is interested in advancing machine learning and artificial intelligence, and using these techniques to advance health care.

Broadly, we have two goals:

• Clinical: To make a difference in health care, we need to create algorithms that are useful for solving real clinical problems.
• Machine learning: We need rigorous solutions, which can pave the way for safe deployment of machine learning in high-stakes settings like healthcare.
