Machine learning algorithms for systematic review: reducing workload in a preclinical review of animal studies and reducing human screening error

Abstract Background Here, we outline a method of applying existing machine learning (ML) approaches to aid citation screening in an on-going broad and shallow systematic review of preclinical animal studies. The aim is to achieve a high-performing algorithm comparable to human screening that can red...
