DescriptionMachine learning is one of the principal components of computational methodology. In today’s highly integrated world, when solutions to problems are cross-disciplinary in nature, machine learning promises to become a powerful means for obtaining solutions to problems very quickly, yet accurately and acceptably.
The approach of this book is distinct from others in that it presents detailed computer simulations for all models presented with explanations of the program code. It includes unique and distinctive chapters on disease diagnosis, telemedicine, medical imaging, smart health monitoring, social media healthcare, and machine learning for COVID-19. These chapters help develop a clear understanding of the working of an algorithm while strengthening logical thinking. Since this book is intended to be useful to a wide audience, it contains a comprehensive description of issues for healthcare data management and an overview of existing systems, making it appropriate for introductory and instructional purposes. Prerequisites are minimal; the readers are expected to have basic knowledge of machine learning.
Machine Learning for Healthcare Applications comprises 22 real-time innovative chapters providing a comprehensive overview of current technology. Each of these chapters specifies requirements and provides a description of both the chosen approach and its implementation.
