Overview

Top Research Topics at Artificial Intelligence in Medicine?

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine explores disciplines such as Artificial intelligence, Machine learning, Pattern recognition, Data mining and Artificial neural network. Artificial intelligence and Natural language processing are closely related fields of research discussed in it. Some problems in Machine learning that were presented in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine overlapped with concepts under Classifier (UML), Decision support system and Task (project management).

The Pattern recognition study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Feature (computer vision). The work on Deep learning addressed in it expands to the thematically related Convolutional neural network.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 7.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.40% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.40% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.00% of all publications and 79.20% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Future Research Directions in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Artificial intelligence has immensely influenced the healthcare sector, leading to transformative changes in different areas. For instance, in genetics research, AI has been employed to comprehend genetic variations associated with diseases, heralding new paths in genomics. Radiologists have used it to reduce diagnosis errors, particularly in the field of breast cancer detection.

Despite the vast areas AI has been used in medicine, there remain untouched vistas of opportunities. As advanced as AI is today, it can benefit from further development to increase accuracy and ability to handle larger and more complex datasets. Three significant areas are poised for exploration in the future:

Firstly, improving the interpretability of AI systems particularly in machine learning, can enhance their potentialtial, making them more applicable to everyday medical practice. Secondly, exploring AI's predictive analytics will lay the groundwork for predictive and preventative medicine. Lastly, advancing research in natural language processing (NLP) can greatly improve understanding and interactions between humans and AI.

Aspiring researchers interested in venturing into AI and medicine can gain insights and strategies for career development from seasoned professionals. For instance, a preschool teacher assistant interested in transitioning into AI research within medicine can start by understanding the requirements and pathway of such a career shift.
