Course detail
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
FEKT-BPC-UIMAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course focuses on the basic types of neural networks (with backpropagation, Hamming and Kohonen network). The second part focuses on the hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster analysis. The third part is focused on the theory of fuzzy sets, fuzzy relations, fuzzy logic, fuzzy inference and approximate reasoning procedures. The following are the methods for relevant features selection and for evaluation of the results obtained by above tools of artificial intelligence.
Supervisor
Learning outcomes of the course unit
The graduate of the course is capable of:
- understanding principles of neural networks (with backpropagation errors, Hamming, Kohonen network),
- implementing the cluster analysis using the non-hierarchical or hierarchical methods,
- explaining the principle of fuzzy inference and approximate reasoning,
- performing selection of the most relevant features for further analysis,
- evaluating the performance of machine learning algorithms,
- giving examples of biomedical areas where above methods are widely used.
Prerequisites
The knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested, namely on numerical mathematics. The laboratory work is expected knowledge of Matlab programming environment.
