Title

All that glitters is not gold: Tales from applying deep learning to clinical data

 

Abstract

Deep learning is gathering a lot of interest for its potential in furthering scientific research (sometimes referred to as “AI for the sciences”), and biomedical applications are no exception. However, using deep learning for clinical data presents scientific challenges. Starting from my experience in several projects, I will discuss what kind of problems deep learning does or does not solve well as of now, what challenges remain to be addressed, and what potential pitfalls to pay attention to.
