A unifying theme of the different applications of machine learning is the integration of multiple high-dimensional sources of data, which all provide a different view on disease, and the automated derivation of actionable insights [[Machine Learning]] ![[Screenshot 2022-10-25 at 1.52.22 PM.png]] - This article interests me because it talks about coming out with new way to diagnose neurodegenerative disease before it could be observed through brain scans. - For example, to use of ML to extract language features from audio recording transcripts to distinguish between healthy individuals vs people with AD (Dementias) - Progression of illness can be tracked through ML looking through Clinical Records, to extract meaningful data.
