Video description
Neural networks have been widely adopted across many industries as the ultimate pattern recognition tool. While their current uses in healthcare are limited, neural networks have a promising future in diagnostic and decision making applications, because of their ability to mimic—and improve on—human capabilities in health-related advice and treatment. This video explains the basics of neural networks; shows examples of training neural networks with both image-based and unstructured healthcare data; and describes the kinds of neural networks most likely to be useful for health-related applications. Examples are introduced using Python. Learners should have a basic understanding of Python, statistics, and machine learning (i.e., how training works and how to prepare data for training a model).
- Survey a range of current neural network applications in healthcare using Python and TensorFlow
- See examples of neural networks that underperform or get tricked in the health domain
- Explore the promising future of using neural networks for pattern recognition problems in healthcare
