Abstract
For years, an increasing digitization in medicine has led to an increasing amount of data. Much of this data is used for the diagnosis of diseases. Based on existing labeled data, artificial intelligence could make predictions or diagnostic suggestions for new data. However, for reliable prediction, especially using Deep Learning, a sufficiently large base of annotated data is needed, which also contains rare diagnoses in enough quantity. This is either very time- and cost-intensive or leads to the fact that existing data cannot be used.
?
The LIFEDATA project will create an open-source framework to address this problem. The scientific concept combines Active Learning (AL) with Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to autonomously select data points with the greatest information value (e.g. rare diagnoses). Human experts annotate these and thus enabling efficient training of machine learning models. Additionally, instead of manually labeling all data points in a dataset, semi-supervised learning combined with AL can generate many annotations semi-automatically.
?
Two use cases from the life sciences that have been studied in the project investigate the added value for different problems and data types. Algorithms to explain the model classifications make the decisions of the trained ML models more comprehensible.
?
To achieve these goals, the AL part of the framework is first implemented and evaluated through a use case with an already annotated medical image dataset. To validate the usability, universality and applicability of the annotation tool, a second use case with ECG data will be realized. Thus, in the synergy of growing data sets and technological innovation, the results of the project can lead to an improvement in patient care.

Abstract
Through cooperation between the Central Hospital?of Augsburg and the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 of Augsburg, common characteristics of long-term survivors with stomach pancreatic tumors are identified. This is intended to create a basis of offering optimal treatment in the future and thus sustainably improving the quality of life.
