Abstract

In this chapter, we survey machine learning and predictive analytics methods for medical informatics. We begin by surveying the current state of practice, key task definitions, and open research problems related to predictive modeling in diagnostic medicine. This follows the traditional supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning taxonomy. Next, we review current research on semisupervised, active, and transfer learning, and on differentiable computing methods such as deep learning. ...
