This course covers machine learning in the biomedical field through three projects. You will learn how to build and deploy AI models, including detecting Parkinson's Disease and identifying metastatic cancer. By the end, you'll be equipped with practical skills to apply machine learning to real-world problems and contribute to healthcare innovation. Part 1. parkinson detection; Part 2. deploy the docker container of the parkinson app; Part 3. cancer detection with pytorch.
