A systematic review of the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in autoimmune diseases

Abstract Autoimmune diseases are chronic, multifactorial conditions. Through machine learning (ML), a branch of the wider field of artificial intelligence, it is possible to extract patterns within patient data, and exploit these patterns to predict patient outcomes for improved clinical management....
