Metaheuristics Algorithms for Medical Applications : Methods and Applications

Metaheuristics Algorithms for Medical Applications: Methods and Applications provides readers with the most complete reference for developing metaheuristics techniques with machine learning for solving biomedical problems. This book is organized to present a stepwise progression beginning with the basics of metaheuristics, leading into methods and practices, and concluding with advanced topics. The first section of this book presents the fundamental concepts of metaheuristics and machine learning and provides a comprehensive taxonomic view of metaheuristics methods according to a variety of criteria such as data type, scope, and method. The second section of this book explains how to apply metaheuristics techniques for solving large-scale biomedical problems, including analysis and validation under different strategies. The final portion of the book focuses on advanced topics in metaheuristics in four different applications. Readers will discover a variety of new methods, approaches, and techniques, as well as a wide range of applications demonstrating key concepts in metaheuristics for biomedical science. This book provides a leading-edge resource for researchers in a variety of scientific fields who are interested in metaheuristics, including mathematics, biomedical engineering, computer science, biological sciences, and clinicians in medical practice.
