Meta-learning reduces the amount of data needed to build AI models in oncology

Br J Cancer. 2021 Aug;125(3):309-310. doi: 10.1038/s41416-021-01358-1. Epub 2021 Mar 29.

Abstract

Meta-learning is showing promise in recent genomic studies in oncology. Meta-learning can facilitate transfer learning and reduce the amount of data that is needed in a target domain by transferring knowledge from abundant genomic data in different source domains enabling the use of AI in data scarce scenarios.
