Course Description

This is a seminar course that covers machine learning important for healthcare including causal inference, time series models, and fairness. We will learn about important clinical questions and the data (such as from ICU monitors and imaging) that along with machine learning can help answer these questions. We will focus on recent work in machine learning for healthcare.
