DESCRIPTION

Equip yourself with all the necessary cutting-edge knowledge of AI in the healthcare industry through the new hybrid course. It is specially designed for students, IT workers and doctors who want to understand and apply AI to medical data.

The aim of the seminar is to familiarize the participants with the basic technologies of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning and the development of applications using Python. During the 12 hours of training and under the guidance of the Assistant Professors of the Department of Informatics of the Ionian University, Themistoklis Exarchos and Aristidis Vrachatis, and the Researcher Konstantinos Lazaros, examples of application of techniques on medical data, such as biosignal processing, clinical data and medical images, will be implemented for the development of intelligent systems and applications.

More specifically, during the seminar the participants will:

  • Understand the introductory concepts of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and their potential in the field of Biomedicine.
  • Become familiar with the fundamental principles and mathematical basis of AI in order to understand in depth and interpret its results in the analysis of biomedical data.
  • Learn about the basic Grouping and Categorisation Algorithms, understanding when, how and why they are used.
  • Learn how to analyse clinical data, MRI images and text from medical prescriptions using Machine Learning techniques with the Python programming language.
  • Address practical biomedical issues by applying and interpreting Machine and Deep Learning techniques.
  • Acquire basic and essential skills in using major Python libraries such as Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow.

The Python course will be offered both face-to-face and online using the hybrid method. In the face-to-face format, participants will need to bring their personal computers and will have the opportunity for hands-on learning with direct technical support. For online participation, participants will be able to attend the lectures and laboratory exercises without hands-on technical support.

Upon completion of the seminar, the trainees will know the basic principles of AI and the corresponding methodologies. They will be able to solve problems that require the application of AI and design effective solutions for the development of intelligent and decision support systems in Python.
