BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a common clinical complication; it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, an early prediction of FLD patients provides an opportunity to make an appropriate strategy for preven...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of ensemble methods (e.g., random forests) and single-model methods (e.g., logistic regression and decision trees) in predictive modeling of post-RT treatment failure and adverse eve...
BACKGROUND: Identifying local recurrences in breast cancer from patient data sets is important for clinical research and practice. Developing a model using natural language processing and machine learning to identify local recurrences in breast cance...
Intensive care is an ideal environment for the use of Big Data Analysis (BDA) and Machine Learning (ML), due to the huge amount of information processed and stored in electronic format in relation to such care. These tools can improve our clinical re...
Neural networks have garnered attention over the past few years. A neural network is a typical model of machine learning that is used to identify visual patterns. Neural networks are used to solve a wide variety of problems, including image recogniti...
