Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining in Biomedical Informatics: State-of-the-Art and Future Challenges, LNCS 8401

Abstract

One of the grand challenges in our digital world are the large, complex and often weakly structured data sets, and massive amounts of unstructured information. This “big data” challenge is most evident in biomedical informatics: the trend towards precision medicine has resulted in an sheer explosion in the amount of generated biomedical data sets. Despite the fact that human experts are very good at pattern recognition in dimensions of
