| Overview: | AI in Medicine (AIM) has a rich tradition of developing and employing cutting edge AI approaches in systems that enhance health care. Featured approaches to medical decision making and clinical decision support will be rule-based reasoning, case-based reasoning, Bayesian networks and data mining. This course will enable students who are familiar with AI in general to explore advanced AI topics and the accompanying technical and non-technical issues found in medical domains. As this is a 600-level graduate course, students will be expected to select and present papers from the AIM literature to enhance and individualize course content. |
