Setting the standards for machine learning in biology

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology volume 20, pages 659–660 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) involving computer programs that are able to improve their own performance through experience (training). The diverse applications of new ‘deep learning’ approaches with neural networks are now expanding into the field of biology. But these applications to biological data require more scrutiny and caution to increase the standards of publishing and allow the AI revolution in biology to take off.
