Thirty years of artificial intelligence in medicine (AIME) conferences: A review of research themes

作者:

Highlights:

• Fifteen Artificial Intelligence in MEdicine (AIME) conferences have been organized over the last 30 years.

• We review the main research themes and investigate their scientific impact.

• Knowledge engeering for medical expert systems dominated the first decade of AIME, while machine learning and data mining prevailed thereafter.

• The work on guidelines and protocols has been highly cited, followed by temporal information management and machine learning/data mining.

• Promising directions for future research are Big Data, personalized medicine, Evidence Based Medicine, business process modeling, process mining and NLP in social media.
