Bayesian LSTMs in medicine

Understand

The medical field stands to see significant benefits from the recent advances in deep learning.

• Knowing the uncertainty in the decision made by any machine learning algorithm is of utmost importance for medical practitioners.
• This study demonstrates the utility of using Bayesian LSTMs for classification of medical time series.
• Four medical time series datasets are used to show the accuracy improvement Bayesian LSTMs provide over standard LSTMs.
