AI-driven practical applications: medicine, finance, and psychology
Abstract
Artificial intelligence is finding a wide range of new applications and also offers opportunities to discover new, more effective solutions to existing problems. Several AI-driven applications in medicine, finance, and psychology are discussed: surgical planning, fraudulent transaction detection, and emotion recognition from images.
We focus on liver transplantation, credit card fraud, and emotions in images of a general nature. Each of these three tasks is highly specific, but they all involve classification. For the transplantation task, the question is whether the patient will survive; for the financial task, whether the transaction is fraudulent; and for the image analysis task, what emotion the selected image conveys. We discuss the methods used to solve the problem, the data used to train the classifier, and present the results.
