Overview of this book

Machine Learning (ML) has changed the way organizations and individuals use data to improve the efficiency of a system. ML algorithms allow strategists to deal with a variety of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. Machine Learning for Healthcare Analytics Projects is packed with new approaches and methodologies for creating powerful solutions for healthcare analytics. This book will teach you how to implement key machine learning algorithms and walk you through their use cases by employing a range of libraries from the Python ecosystem. You will build five end-to-end projects to evaluate the efficiency of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for carrying out simple-to-complex healthcare analytics tasks. With each project, you will gain new insights, which will then help you handle healthcare data efficiently. As you make your way through the book, you will use ML to detect cancer in a set of patients using support vector machines (SVMs) and k-Nearest neighbors (KNN) models. In the final chapters, you will create a deep neural network in Keras to predict the onset of diabetes in a huge dataset of patients. You will also learn how to predict heart diseases using neural networks. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to address long-standing challenges, provide specialized solutions for how to deal with them, and carry out a range of cognitive tasks in the healthcare domain.

Summary

In this chapter, we built a deep neural network in Keras and we found the optimal hyperparameters using the scikit-learn grid search. We also learned how to optimize a network by tuning the hyperparameters. Note that the results that we get might not be the same for all of us, but as long as we get similar predictions, we can consider our model a success. When you start training on new data, or if you're trying to address a different problem with a different dataset, you will have to go through this process again. In this chapter, we also learned about deep learning and hyperparameter optimization and explored how to apply them to the network to predict the onset of diabetes on a huge dataset of patients.

In the next chapter, we will look at how to classify DNA using machine algorithms.
