Advances in Artificial Intelligence, Computation, and Data Science For Medicine and Life Science

“This book is a collection of articles on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning methods in the field of medicine. … The chapters on medical image analysis are

worthwhile reading, but of course this is also the kind of application where deep learning methods have become most successful. … There is no doubt about the potential of AI to be used in medical applications … .” (Florian Frommlet, SIAM Review, Vol. 65 (3), 2023)
