Machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data. These buzzwords are used more and more, also within epidemiology, and are regularly cited as fundamental for future healthcare and the provision of precision medicine. But how far are we as epidemiologists in implementing these methods in our work? What is the true potential for using these models for prediction on a population level? What are the conditions, tools, and frameworks necessary to use these methodological domains for determining causes of disease, and their impact on populations? This 2-day meeting aims to chart the landscape of machine learning in epidemiology, highlighting the Danish achievements.
