Synthesis of Recommendations, Open Problems and the Study of BPs

This chapter assembles a list of all best practices (BPs), and pitfalls, discussed in the previous chapters. These are codified in a single hierarchical structure and assistive checklists intended to make them operationally useful. We differentiate between macro-, meso- and micro-levels of pitfalls and corresponding best practices-roughly corresponding to high-level principles, concrete differentiations of the above and granular/detailed tools and techniques for implementation. The recommended BPs are cross-referenced across the volume and key corresponding literature and other sources. Several open problems remain and the evolution of BPs for biomedical AI/ML is certain to become in the years to come a field of inquiry with explosive growth and value.
