Deep Learning and Other Soft Computing Techniques

This book focuses on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and computationalintelligence (CI) in medical and related applications. Applications includeall aspects of medicine: from diagnostics (including analysis of medicalimages and medical data) to therapeutics (including drug designand radiotherapy) to epidemic- and pandemic-related public health policies. Corresponding techniques include machine learning (especially deep learning),techniques for processing expert knowledge (e.g., fuzzy techniques), andadvanced techniques of applied mathematics (such as innovative probabilisticand graph-based techniques). The book also shows that these techniques can be used in many otherapplications areas, such as finance, transportation, physics. This book helps practitioners and researchers to learn more about AI andCI methods and their biomedical (and related) applications-and to furtherdevelop thisimportant research direction.
