  • 在多个医学影像数据集上提升公平性与准确率平衡
  • 无需敏感信息即可动态分配任务,适合医疗场景

医学图像分析中的机器学习模型常表现出群体依赖的性能差异,影响在资源有限时自动化系统与人类专家之间的决策分配。以往关于AI公平性和人机协作的研究(如学习延迟决策L2D、学习互补L2C)通常孤立处理这些问题。本文提出面向人的医学图像分析框架PecMan,实现公平感知的人机协同分类,联合建模群体依赖的可靠性、决策分配与协作预测。PecMan结合群体特化预测器与门控融合机制,动态将病例分配给自动化模型、人类专家或二者组合,且测试时无需敏感属性。我们还构建了FairHAI基准,用于评估预测精度、群体公平性与人工参与度之间的权衡。理论分析揭示了多智能体门控的选择遗憾,并刻画了输入依赖分配下的公平性-覆盖权衡。在多个医学影像数据集上的实验表明,相较于单独处理公平性或人机协作的方法,PecMan实现了更优的综合表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Machine learning models for medical image analysis often exhibit subgroup-dependent performance, which impacts how decisions should be allocated between automated systems and human experts under limited resources. Prior work on AI fairness and human-AI cooperation, including learning to defer (L2D) and learning to complement (L2C), typically addresses these problems in isolation. We propose People-Centred Medical Image Analysis (PecMan), a framework for fairness-aware human-AI co-operative classification that jointly models subgroup-dependent reliability, decision allocation, and collaborative prediction. PecMan combines subgroup-specialised predictors with a gating and consolidation mechanism that dynamically assigns cases to automated models, human experts, or their combination, without requiring sensitive attributes at test time. We also introduce the FairHAI benchmark for evaluating trade-offs between predictive accuracy, subgroup equity, and human involvement. In addition, we provide a theoretical analysis of multi-agent gating via selection regret and characterise fairness-coverage trade-offs under input-dependent allocation. Experiments across multiple medical imaging datasets demonstrate that PecMan achieves consistently improved trade-offs compared to methods that address fairness or human-AI cooperation separately.
