Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Haematology

Dear Colleagues,

Digitalization of patients records and integration of genomic methods into clinical practice have resulted in an unprecedented wealth of data. Machine learning is part of artificial intelligence that attempts to computationally extract meaningful insights from complex data structures. Applications of machine learning in hematological scenarios are steadily increasing. There is both much hope and hype surrounding the application of machine learning in medicine. Terms such as artificial intelligence, precision medicine, machine learning and deep learning are becoming ever more frequent in the medical literature, Recent findings: AI has been employed in the analysis of hematopathological, radiographic, laboratory, genomic, pharmacological, and chemical data to better inform diagnosis, prognosis, treatment planning, and foundational knowledge related to benign and malignant hematology. Artificial intelligence techniques ranging from machine learning to deep learning are prevalent in healthcare for disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and patient risk identification. In this special issue, we would like to shed light on artificial intelligence and machine learning in Hematology.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
