Applications-Oriented AI Research: Medicine
Abstract
Those of us involved in the creation of the Handbook of Artificial Intelligence, both writers and editors, have attempted to make the concepts, methods, tools, and main results of artificial intelligence research accessible to a broad scientific and engineering audience. Currently, AI work is familiar mainly to its practicing specialists and other interested computer scientists. Yet the field is of growing interdisciplinary interest and practical importance. With this book we are trying to build bridges that are easily crossed by importance. With this book we are trying to build bridges that are easily crossed by engineers, scientists in other fields, and our own computer science colleagues. In the Handbook we intend to cover the breadth and depth of AI, presenting general overviews of the scientific issues, as well as detailed discussions of particular techniques and important AI systems. Throughout we have tried to keep in mind the reader who is not a specialist in AI.
