The workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Health - AI4Health 2018 - aims =
at bringing together researchers from academia, industry, government, and m=
edical centers in order to present the state of the art and discuss the lat=
est advances in the emerging area of the use of Artificial Intelligence and=
 Soft Computing techniques in the fields of medicine, health care and wellb=
eing. AI4Health is expected to cover the whole range of theoretical and pra=
ctical aspects, technologies and systems related to the application of arti=
ficial intelligence and soft computing methodologies to issues as machine l=
earning, deep learning, knowledge discovery, decision support, regression, =
forecasting, optimization, and feature selection in the healthcare and well=
being domain.=20
