Artificial Intelligence in Health Care

This course will teach the fundamental theory and methods of artificial intelligence (AI) alongside their application to the biomedical domain. It will give a representative overview of traditional methods as well as modern developments in the areas of (deep) machine learning, natural language processing and information retrieval. The course is designed to be accessible to non-computer science audiences and will not require extensive prior programming experience. The course will be accompanied by practical assignments applying the discussed techniques in a biomedical context. Understanding of formal theoretical knowledge will be assessed in a final exam. The course is designed for students concentrating in domains such as Computational Biology and Applied Mathematics-Biology; or Neuroscience concentrators who have completed a course in introductory statistics (e.g., BIOL 0495 ).
