Special Issue: Machine Learning in Biomedical Sciences
- Submission status
- Closed
The last few years have seen a huge data collection increase in biological and biomedical research fields, such as biobanks, neuroimaging, spatial transcriptomics, single cell genomics, cancer genomics, and microbiomes. These biomedical data present numerous challenges and pitfalls for machine learning methods due to the complexity of data structures, the high dimensionality of biomarkers, and the heterogeneity of data resources. Novel statistical machine learning methods are demanded to address those problems in the context of translating clinical data into knowledge and practice. To join the force to improve data collection, quality control, and analysis in a wide range of biomedical fields, we plan to publish in this special issue manuscripts on new statistical machine learning methods that target on emerging questions in biomedical data analyses, such as sampling bias, biomarker discovery, high-dimension data analysis, streaming and online data analysis, domain adaptation, dimensional reduction methods, data integration techniques, data privacy, missing data methods, predictive models, transfer learning, causal and mediation inference, and statistical diversity and generalizability.
