Recently, much of the field of cancer diagnosis has been focused on developing new computational methods. However, most of these methods suffer from lower accuracy, experimental noise, high dimensionality, and poor interpretability. These methods still require significant improvement, so that can meet the need of real-world clinical diagnosis.
Machine learning algorithms have pushed the boundaries for numerous problems in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, and audio processing. Recent cancer research has also focused on machine learning, which has attracted attention from both the academic research and commercial application communities. In a different yet often closely related arena, evolutionary algorithms use a population-based approach in which more than one solution participates in an iteration and evolves a new population of solutions in each iteration. Meanwhile, evolutionary algorithms have successfully been employed to increase the performance of machine learning methods significantly.
With this perspective, this Research Topic will collect cutting-edge research in all aspects of evolutionary algorithm and machine learning for cancer diagnoses including experimental and theoretical research and real-world applications to promote research, sharing, and development.
