Machine learning is well recognised as an effective tool for researchers to handle problems in the medical and biological fields. It is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building, using algorithms that iteratively learn from data and then make sophisticated decisions based on the learned practices.

Medicine involves large amounts of important data and medical application problems frequently make human-generated, rule-based heuristics intractable. In this special issue, we aim to provide a forum for presenting cutting-edge machine learning methods for medical and biological applications. Medical and biological applications may include the learning of similarities across different biomechanics; bio-photonics; medical device development, evaluation and commercialization; organ localization; and learning of anatomical changes.

We invite researchers to contribute original research articles and review articles that will address medical diagnosis approaches to provide solutions to existing medical diagnosis and treatment and biological issues.
