Learning Outcomes of UE

Upon completion of this module, students will be able to:

Explore and prepare medical databases for analysis, managing missing values, detecting anomalies, and using visualization tools to analyze relationships between variables.
Formulate clear analysis goals and relevant hypotheses to guide data exploration and selection of appropriate machine learning algorithms.
Apply the concepts and techniques learned in Module I to create, train, tune, and validate machine learning models tailored to specific health conditions.
Assess the quality and robustness of machine learning models using appropriate metrics and cross-validation techniques.
Present the results of AI analysis in a scientific format, writing clear and concise reports and creating graphs and visualizations to illustrate findings.
Critique the results of AI analysis, identifying limitations, potential biases, and ethical and regulatory implications of the models created.
Collaborate effectively in groups to solve real health problems using artificial intelligence, sharing knowledge and integrating everyone's skills.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

In this phase, students will learn to explore and understand medical databases. They will acquire skills in data preparation and cleaning, handling of missing values and anomaly detection. Students will also become familiar with data visualization tools to analyze trends, distributions, and relationships between variables.
Ideation phase:
In this step, students will think about how to analyze data using the AI algorithms learned in Module I. They will learn to define clear analytical goals and formulate relevant hypotheses to guide their exploration of data. They will also explore how to select the best-suited machine learning algorithms and techniques for specific problems and available data.
Modeling phase:
In the modeling phase, students will apply the concepts and techniques learned to create machine learning models with medical databases. They will learn how to train, adjust and validate their models to optimize their performance. Students will also discover how to assess the quality and robustness of their models using appropriate metrics and cross-validation techniques.
Results presentation phase:
Finally, students will learn how to present their AI analysis results in a scientific format. They will discover how to write clear and concise reports describing the methodology used, the results obtained and their interpretation. Students will also become familiar with creating graphs and visualizations to effectively illustrate their findings. This phase will also focus on critiquing the results, highlighting the limitations and potential biases of the models, and discussing the ethical and regulatory implications of their work.
