Course detail

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

FEKT-AUINAcad. year: 2011/2012

The subject deals with the areas of artificial intelligence applied in the decision-making process in medicine. It is focused on resolution methods, introduction to artificial neural networks and fundamental principles of expert systems. It also deals with application of probability methods for uncertainty decision-making and with the use of fuzzy logic in approximation decision-making
