This document discusses machine learning techniques for classifying medical datasets. It provides an overview of various artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms that have been applied for medical dataset classification, including artificial neural networks, support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, and decision trees. The document surveys works that have used these techniques for diseases like breast cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. It also describes common pre-processing steps for medical datasets like data normalization and feature selection methods like F-score and PCA that are used to select the most important features for classification. The classification algorithms are then evaluated based on accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.
