Machine Learning in Medical Applications

Research in Machine Learning methods to-date remains centered on technological issues and is mostly application driven. This letter summarizes successful applications of machine learning methods that were presented at the Workshop on Machine Learning in Medical Applications. The goals of the workshop were to foster fundamental and applied research in the application of machine learning methods to medical problem solving and to medical research, to provide a forum for reporting significant results, to determine whether Machine Learning methods are able to underpin the research and development on intelligent systems for medical applications, and to identify those areas where increased research is likely to yield advances. A number of recommendations for a research agenda were produced, including both technical and human-centered issues.
