Table 2.

Applying 4 dimensions of amplification to the clinical data pipeline for empiric antibiotic prediction.

Domain expert task Amplification
Data curation

Identify variables of interest, validate patients included in the cohort, and make domain-specific exclusionary rules
  • Summarization: present distribution of variables of interest

  • Guidance: suggesting additional variables based on the selected ones

  • Interactions: allow expert to select and remove data points

  • Acceleration: suggest criteria based on the domain expert’s inclusion and exclusion

Data cleaning

Augmentation


Fill in unreported microbiology susceptibilities with rules
  • Summarization: preview a rule by showing distribution of the cells that will be impacted

  • Guidance: show high-impact data subsets for edits

  • Interactions: direct edits on interface and indirect edits via rules

  • Acceleration: suggest general rules based on the domain expert’s single edit


Validation


Validate data augmentation by examining rule set and consolidating them to remove conflicts
  • Summarization: visual summary of rules and their relations

  • Guidance: node size guides user to high-conflict areas

  • Interactions: edit rule set by accepting and rejecting rules

  • Acceleration: automatically remove redundant rules

Data analysis

Understand the model and its predictions for individuals and different patient subpopulations
  • Summarization: show probability of coverage with confidence interval

  • Guidance: highlight covariates of concern

  • Interactions: allow domain expert to select covariates to include

  • Acceleration: show similar patients for who the model should be updated
