CALL FOR PAPERS
Virtual Special Session 'Machine Learning in Health'@ ICMLA 2023
Virtual Special Session at the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications
(IEEE ICMLA-2023)

Format: Online Special Session
----------------------------------------
SPECIAL SESSION DATE: December 15-17, 2023
LOCATION: Hyatt Regency Jacksonvill Riverfront, Florida

SCOPE
--------------
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are changing the landscape of healthcare and modern personalized
precision medicine. The increasing availability of health data, including patient medical records also obtained
by wearable sensors, medical imaging, health insurance claims, surveillance, together with the rapid progress of
machine learning algorithms and analysis techniques, are gradually enabling doctors for better diagnosis, improve
disease surveillance, facilitating early disease detection, uncovering novel treatments and drug-interaction,
detect false alarms and over-diagnosis, and creating an era of truly personalized medicine.
A great challenge is build better modeling tools for integrating human expertise and machine learning techniques
to exploit big data in healthcare, and formulate hypothesis about how the human organisms act in heath and illness.
The main areas of machine learning and AI applications in healthcare are: personalized precision medicine,
analysis and interpretation of radiology images, automated diagnosis, prescription preparation,
clinical workflow monitoring, patient monitoring and care, discovery of new drugs, predicting the
impact of gene edits, treatment protocol development, early diagnoses of diseases. In this context,
modern machine learning techniques can play a crucial role to deal with such amount of heterogeneous,
multi-scale and multi-modal data. Some examples of techniques that are gaining attention in this domain
include deep learning, domain adaptation, semi-supervised approach, time series analysis and active learning.
Even though the use of machine learning and the development of ad-hoc techniques are gaining increasing popularity
in the health domain, we can witness that a significant lack of interaction between domain experts and machine
learning researchers still exists. The special session provides a venue for the community to promote collaborations
and present and exchanges ideas, practices and advances specific to machine learning use in the particularly
challenging area of health. The goal is to bring people in the field cross-cutting information management
and medical informatics to discuss innovative data management and analytics technologies highlighting end-to-end
applications, systems, and methods to address problems in healthcare, public health, and everyday wellness, with
clinical, physiological, imaging, behavioral, environmental, and omic data, and data from social media and the Web.
The special session solicits empirical, experimental, methodological, and theoretical research reporting original
and unpublished results on topics in the realm of healthcare and health informatics along with applications
to real life situations. This can mean new models, new datasets, new algorithms, or new applications.
