Researchers have developed a new benchmark to evaluate how well machine learning models can adapt to different regional patient data after being initially trained on data from a single hospital. This addresses the challenge of transferring models to smaller hospitals with varying data distributions, a common issue in clinical outcome prediction. The benchmark frames this transfer as a domain incremental learning problem and tests methods like data replay and Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC) for their ability to retain original knowledge while learning new domain-specific features.
