Figure 1. Comparison of prediction models in A) two-dimensional (2D) and B) three-dimensional (3D) analyses. The 2D model demonstrates a poor-fitting linear relationship constrained by limited variables. In contrast, the 3D model incorporates an additional dimension, providing a better fit and improved predictive accuracy. This highlights how multi-dimensional analysis, such as those enabled by machine learning, can uncover more complex relationships within heterogeneous clinical and biological data.

Predicting cochlear implant performance: Moving beyond single biomarkers and leveraging artificial intelligence

Matthew Shew, Amit Walia, and Craig A. Buchman highlight that the significant variability in speech perception among cochlear implant users can be addressed by using a multi- faceted approach that incorporates emerging technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence to improve outcome prediction models.
