Evidence Type Classification in Randomized Controlled Trials
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) are a common type of experimental studies in the medical domain for evidence-based decision making. The ability to automatically extract the \textit{arguments} proposed therein can be of valuable support for clinicians and practitioners in their daily evidence-based decision making activities. Given the peculiarity of the medical domain and the required level of detail, standard approaches to argument component detection in \textit{argument(ation) mining} are not fine-grained enough to support such activities. In this paper, we introduce a new sub-task of the argument component identification task: \textit{evidence type classification}. To address it, we propose a supervised approach and we test it on a set of RCT abstracts on different medical topics.

Towards Understanding of Medical Randomized Controlled Trials by Conclusion Generation
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) represent the paramount evidence of clinical medicine. Using machines to interpret the massive amount of RCTs has the potential of aiding clinical decision-making. We propose a RCT con…

In this work, we proposed a novel inferential procedure assisted by machine learning based adjustment for randomized control trials. The method was developed under the Rosenbaum's framework of exact tests in randomized e…
Data reuse enables cost-efficient randomized trials of medical AI models
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are indispensable for establishing the clinical value of medical artificial-intelligence (AI) tools, yet their high cost and long timelines hinder timely validation as new models emerg…
Causal InferenceSystematic reviews in paediatric multiple sclerosis and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease exemplify shortcomings in methods used to evaluate therapies in rare conditions
BACKGROUND: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard design of clinical research to assess interventions. However, RCTs cannot always be applied for practical or ethical reasons. To investigate the curre…
