Machine Learning Application in Diabetes and Endocrine Disorders / 임상당뇨병

ABSTRACT

Recently, machine learning (ML) applications have received attention in diabetes and metabolism research. This review briefly provides the basic concepts of ML and specific topics in diabetes research.Exemplary studies are reviewed to provide an overview of the methodology, main findings, limitations, and future research directions for ML-based studies. Well-defined, testable study hypotheses that stem from unmet clinical needs are always the first prerequisite for successful deployment of an MLbased approach to clinical scene. The management of data quality with enough quantity and active collaboration with ML engineers can enhance the ML development process. The interpretable highperformance ML models beyond the black-box nature of some ML principles can be one of the future goals expected by ML and artificial intelligence in the diabetes research and clinical practice settings that is beyond hype. Most importantly, endocrinologists should play a central role as domain experts who have clinical expertise and scientific rigor, for properly generating, refining, analyzing, and interpreting data by successfully integrating ML models into clinical research.
