As seems appropriate I added engineering. Robert Tito |  Talk  22:40, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

This article focuses too much on the algorithms, and too little on the concepts. There are probably thousands of analytical platforms out there; the reader probably just needs a conceptual overview of how this technology works, and where it is being used in the clinical enterprise. Let's have sections called "supervised learning" and "unsupervised learning," "applications," "challenges."--Michael Benjamin 02:18, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

technologies

This article lists a number of technologies, but is often very vague about them (for example, it mention artificial neural networks, but doesn't specify whether they are feedforward networks or recurrent, whether backpropogation is used for training, or an unsupervised method such as Hebbian learning, and it doesn't make it clear why connectionism should be listed separately). From an engineering perspective, it just looks like a few terms for technologies, giving no indication of how or why they should be used). Greg Woodhouse 16:04, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
