Summary
The advancement of machine learning and computational methods has become a driving force for global healthcare development and transformation. Machine learning allows a system to learn from the environment, through re-iterative processes. Along with the computational methods, it also improves itself from experience. Recently, machine learning has gained massive attention across numerous fields, and is making it easy to model data extremely well, without the importance of using strong assumptions about the modeled system. The goal of this thematic issue is to explore how machine learning and computational methods in disease and healthcare applications can help human beings to lead healthy lives. Specifically, innovative contributions that either solve or advance the understanding of issues related to new technologies and applications in the real world in the direction of disease detection and prediction are very welcome.
It also seeks to not only bring solutions that combine state-of-the-art prediction methods for exploiting the huge health and biodata resources available, but also emerging methods that more generally describe the successful application of artificial intelligence and big data analytic methodologies to issues such as disease prediction, machine learning, deep learning, knowledge discovery, big data, and feature selection in the medical domain as well as healthcare, biology, and wellbeing domains. The main idea is to cover health data analytics issues addressing all facets of the solutions from the disease prediction and detection in healthcare technology perspective.
The general idea behind this is to disseminate disease prediction and healthcare solution contributions from various engineering, scientific, and social settings that exploit data analytics, machine learning, and data mining techniques.
