Machine learning

Under a four-year National Cancer Institute grant, computer scientists at Dartmouth’s Norris Cancer Center aim “to develop machine learning approaches that use data from medical records to predict lung cancer patients’ responses to targeted therapies. [They]will build and validate information-extraction and machine learning methods that use EHR text information to detect statistically significant connections between medical records, genetic mutations and targeted therapy responses.”   The artificial intelligence will aggregate data from clinical and pathology notes, patients’ genetic profiles and reaction to drugs.   MORE
