- Abstract summary: We introduce a computational approach to adaptively allocate recruitment resources among sites to improve representativeness.
In simulated recruitment of 10,000-participant cohorts from medical centers, we show that our approach yields a more representative cohort than existing baselines.

- Abstract: Large participatory biomedical studies, studies that recruit individuals to join a dataset, are gaining popularity and investment, especially for analysis by modern AI methods. Because they purposively recruit participants, these studies are uniquely able to address a lack of historical representation, an issue that has affected many biomedical datasets. In this work, we define representativeness as the similarity to a target population distribution of a set of attributes and our goal is to mirror the U.S. population across distributions of age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Many participatory studies recruit at several institutions, so we introduce a computational approach to adaptively allocate recruitment resources among sites to improve representativeness. In simulated recruitment of 10,000-participant cohorts from medical centers in the STAR Clinical Research Network, we show that our approach yields a more representative cohort than existing baselines. Thus, we highlight the value of computational modeling in guiding recruitment efforts.

A prevalent research line, known as online batch selection, explores selecting informative subsets during the training process.
vanilla reference-model-free methods involve independently scoring and selecting data in a sample-wise manner.
We propose Diversified Batch Selection (DivBS), which is reference-model-free and can efficiently select diverse and representative samples.

sample selection bias ( SSB) refers to the study population being less representative of the target population, leading to biased and potentially harmful decisions.
Despite being well-known in the literature, SSB remains scarcely studied in machine learning for healthcare.
We propose a new research direction for addressing SSB, based on the target population identification rather than the bias correction.

In particular, we show competitive performance on the recall@1 metric, thereby providing the option to leave out the expensive candidate ranking step.
