Over
the last decades the use of artificial intelligence techniques for biomedical
data analysis has been incredibly popular and has opened numerous opportunities
to improve medical diagnosis. Especially in the recent years, there has been a drastic development of large-scale databases (genomics, proteomics, imaging),
which has given the opportunity to apply deep learning techniques. Particularly
in computer vision, convolutional neural networks have rapidly become the tool
of choice for the analysis of images.
