Net talk at AI #bythebay: "AI For Good: Fighting Health Insurance with AI" by Holden Karau.
Starting with CWs around surgery, hospitals, trans references, and broken bones.
What's the problem? Health Insurance in America frequently denies medical care, Insurance _might_ be using AI to deny claims, and appealing claim denials is hard
And they have a lot more money than us!
We have a social problem, and we're going to try and duct tape it with computers!
"Making healthcare leak a little less fast"
How? AI to take denials and produce appeals.
This includes:
- An ML model to take denials and produce appeals
- Frontend interface for people to access the model
- Library to remove and put the personal data back in
First problem: training data!
- Insurance companies won't give the data
- Doctor's offices have the data, but it's hard for them to give it out
- Reddit has some data! But there's sample bias
- Insurance commissioners!
Once we have the data, how do we pick a model to fine tune?
- Make sure the model will fit in memory
- Check the license. Then check it again.
- Then consider good base performance, that's got good scores on best-related tasks
How do we do the fine-tuning?
- Correct data structure
- Pile o' shell scripts
- Axolotl! this was clutch. https://axolotl.ai/
How do you improve on this?
- Find more data sources
- Filter out bad data, both via humans and regexes
- RAG!
Now we're seeing a demo of https://fighthealthinsurance.com/, what this talk has been all about.
