Applications of artificial intelligence systems in the analysis of epidemiological data

Andreas D Flouris et al. Eur J Epidemiol. 2006.

Abstract

A brief review of the germane literature suggests that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) statistical algorithms in epidemiology has been limited. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using AI systems in large-scale sets of epidemiological data to extract inherent, formerly unidentified, and potentially valuable patterns that human-driven deductive models may miss.
