Talk Title: How to Visualize a Biobank: Lessons from the ‘All of Us’ UMAP Scandal

Abstract:

In this talk, we will explore how large, heterogeneous biobanks are visualized and the potential risks of methods that exaggerate differences between population groups, as demonstrated by a controversial UMAP in the “All of Us” flagship paper. Matthew will also present PHATE as an alternative approach to visualizing such data without distortion.
