Preface

The theme of this workshop is encapsulated by a keynote given by Mark Musen, MD: “Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: It's Back to the Future.” In his talk, Dr. Musen will summarize the 30-year history of artificial intelligence in medicine including its successes and failures, and discuss current challenges and opportunities that have been made possible by recent technological and organizational changes. The rest of the program is structured along two main tracks that showcase applications of AI techniques and methods in health informatics and that present new theoretical and methodological developments on the boundary of AI and medicine.
