Upon completing the course, students will be able to:

  • 01. Understand ML Applications in Healthcare
  • 02. Machine Learning Techniques for Healthcare
  • 03. Unsupervised Learning
  • 04. Supervised Learning
  • 05. Neural Networks

Introduction to ML in Healthcare

In module one, you will learn some important concepts in healthcare, Python programming and software development. In the next modules, we will work with different machine learning techniques and all the examples and data we will use will be related to healthcare.

  • Introduction to genetics/genomics
  • Introduction to imaging technologies and radiomics
  • Introduction to programming in Python
  • Introduction to version control
  • Workflow management

Feature Preparation for Machine Learning

In module two, we work on feature selection and extraction techniques and start working with unsupervised machine learning models.

  • Data normalization and outlier detection
  • Feature selection and extraction in genomics and radiomics
  • Introduction to Supervised Learning

Dimension Reduction and Clustering

In module three, we go into details of unsupervised machine learning modeling to cover different dimensionality reduction and clustering algorithms.

  • Dimensionality reduction in genomics and radiomics
  • Classical clustering algorithms with application in health

Learn Classification Models for Healthcare

In module four, we learn about supervised modeling in python covering both regression and classification methods. We also cover important aspects of modeling survival data.

  • Regression versus classification
  • Cross-validation; bias and overfitting
  • Model performance measures
  • Survival analysis in genomic and radiomics

Deep Learning for Healthcare

In module five, we will focus on neural network modeling to learn about the application of fully connected, convolutional and recurrent neural networks in healthcare.

  • Introduction to neural network for supervised learning
  • Deep learning for clinical image classification
  • Image segmentation
