Machine Learning in Public Health: A Review
Keywords:
machine learning, prediction, classification, public health, disease
Abstract
In recent years Machine learning has been used for disease diagnosis and prediction in the public healthcare sector. It plays an essential role in healthcare and is rapidly being applied to education. It is one of the driving forces in science and technology, but the emergence of big data involves paradigm shifts in the implementation of machine learning techniques from traditional methods. Computers are now well equipped to diagnose many health issues with large health care datasets and progressions in machine learning techniques. Researchers have been used several machine learning techniques in public health. Several methods, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees (DT), Na#xEF;ve Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), are widely used in predictive model design research, resulting in effective and accurate decision-making. The predictive models discussed here are based on different supervised ML techniques and various input characteristics and data samples. Therefore, the predictive models can be used to support healthcare professionals and patients globally to improve public health as well as global health. Finally, we provide some problems and challenges which face the researcher in public health.
