"Automated ML and its transformative impact on medicine and healthcare" by Mihaela van der Schaar
Mihaela van der Schaar

Sat Jul 18 10:50 AM -- 11:15 AM (PDT) @
in 7th ICML Workshop on Automated Machine Learning (AutoML 2020) »

In this keynote session, I will explain the unique characteristics of healthcare that make it a challenging but extremely promising domain in which to apply AutoML. I will give an overview of several novel approaches we has developed to tackle problems as complex and diverse as AutoML for survival analysis, causal inference, and dynamic forecasting from time-series data. I will also highlight medical AutoML frameworks used in real-world contexts, including predictive tools deployed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
