"training dataset includes several thousand anonymized patients and will be made available"
That seems like an awfully small dataset. It also doesn't look like it is limited to one disease which would make the search space enormous especially if all the patients didn't have the same labs drawn!
If it was completely standardized data several thousand may be sufficient to train, but I think they are looking for something more 'magic' than that.
- sesqu 16y agoThe dataset sounds so small that I'd expect the winning answer will be extensively seeded by medical doctors. Diagnostic data is usually very difficult to approach with AI, and practising doctors have good heuristics. That suggests, to me, that the best one can hope for is using this dataset to refine those heuristics.
