SPECIAL ISSUE ON Machine learning techniques for Medical Applications 

International Journal of Medical Engineering and Informatics (IJMEI) 

Guest Editors: 
Asst. Prof. Ahmad Taher Azar, Benha University, Egypt 
Prof. Aboul-Ella Hassanien, Cairo University, Egypt 

INTRODUCTION 

Machine Learning research has been extremely active the last few years. The result is a large number of very accurate and efficient algorithms that are quite easy to use for a practitioner. It seems rewarding and almost mandatory for (computer) scientist and engineers to learn how and where Machine Learning can help to automate tasks or provide predictions where humans have difficulties to comprehend large amounts of data. The long list of examples where Machine Learning techniques were successfully applied includes: Text classification and categorization, network intrusion detection, Bioinformatics, brain computer interfacing, monitoring of electric appliances, optimization of hard disk caching strategies and disk spin-down prediction, drug discovery, high-energy physics particle classification, recognition of hand writing, natural scene analysis etc. 

OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE 

The objective of this special issue is to provide the latest advancements in the highly interdisciplinary research and development area of Machine Learning techniques in medical applications.
