Overview of Artificial Intelligence and Its Use in Analyzing “Voice of Cancer Patients”
Abstract
In this talk, we first provide an overview of Artificial Intelligence and its constituents, which include Robotics Automation, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Audio and Video Processing, and Cognitive Computing. We then discuss the reasons why this field has been providing practical benefits for at least the last ten years and why it is likely to become main stream during the next ten. Finally, we discuss a use case, “Voice of Cancer Patients” that uses Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing algorithms to analyze unstructured text and messages that are written in various web forums and social media by cancer patients, survivors, care-givers and patient advocates. As a proof of concept, we show the power of such algorithms by analyzing 5.8 million unique messages in the field of breast cancer. We are in the process of extending it to 25 other cancer types by the end of 2016. For more details regarding this use case, please see www.voiceofcancerpatients.com
