- Aims:
The students are able to analyze and solve clinical treatment planning and decision support problems using methods for search, optimization, and planning.
They are able to explain methods for classification and their respective advantages and disadvantages in clinical contexts.
The students can compare different methods for representing medical knowledge.
They can evaluate methods in the context of clinical data and explain challenges due to the clinical nature of the data and its acquisition and due to privacy and safety requirements.
