1. 6. Detecting early-stage Alzheimer’s disease with Machine Learning algorithms

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Jakob Mukka; [2023]
   Keywords : Machine Learning; Random Forest; AdaBoost; Logistic Regression;

   Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) accounts for the majority of all cases of dementia and can be characterized as a disease that causes a progressive decline of cognitive functions. Detecting the disease at it’s earliest stage is important as medical treatments can be more effective if they can be applied before the disease has caused irreparable brain damage. READ MORE

3. 7. Predicting Protein Stability with Machine Learning
