Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

This article contains summaries of the nine symposia that were conducted. Unlike previous Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) meetings, the AIM Symposium was organized around a single source of medical knowledge, the 1991 article "Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD)" by Dr. James L. M. Ferrara and Dr. H. Joachim Deeg (New England Journal of Medicine 324:667). Presenters were also given three clinical vignettes in GVHD to use as examples in their talks or poster presentations. The symposium was significantly more focused because of the use of a common knowledge source. Provocateurs had the task of asking difficult questions to both the presenters and the audience.
