Sensitivity analysis of augmented model accuracy. The shape of the average accuracy line shows a consistent increase in the accuracy of the augmented model when the 0–14% lowest-confidence cases are sent to the swarm, from 82% correct of CheXMax (sending 0% of cases) to 90% correct when sending the 14% of lowest-confidence positive and negative cases to the swarm. The model performs similarly when 16–32% of cases are sent to the swarm, achieving between 88% and 92% accuracy across this sensitivity range. If more than 32% of cases are sent to the swarm, the accuracy of the system decreases, until the limit of sending all diagnoses to the swarm is reached (100% of cases swarmed), where the accuracy returns to the swarm score of 84%.
