They&#8217;re often a consequence of laboratory testing practices and microbiological rules\u2014not simply incomplete data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our latest work, we asked a simple question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should AI guess first, or should domain knowledge lead the way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer surprised us less than it should have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Domain-aware rules achieved excellent specificity and strong overall performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Machine learning improved substantially only after addressing class imbalance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The best approach wasn&#8217;t AI versus domain knowledge\u2014it was AI built on top of domain expertise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;The takeaway is one I&#8217;ll keep repeating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In healthcare AI, biology should constrain the algorithms\u2014not the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we build clinical AI systems, success won&#8217;t come from bigger models alone. It will come from combining expert knowledge, deterministic clinical rules, and machine learning where it adds the most value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proud to see this work published and grateful to my co-authors and collaborators at Smartbiotic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access the publication here :<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emjreviews.com\/microbiology-infectious-diseases\/abstract\/domain-aware-versus-machine-learning-imputation-for-sparse-antimicrobial-susceptibility-data-j10126\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.emjreviews.com\/microbiology-infectious-diseases\/abstract\/domain-aware-versus-machine-learning-imputation-for-sparse-antimicrobial-susceptibility-data-j10126\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are proud to announce that our latest research has been published in the European Medical Journal.&nbsp; Congratulations to Fredrick&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2083,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-article"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1921"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1921\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2055,"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1921\/revisions\/2055"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smartbiotic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
