Question: Hi there. I am currently interested in doing a Masters Thesis Research Project in utilizing Artificial Intelligence to diagnose Cancer. Thus far, for the past year, I’ve been trying to learn Python and currently, looking into learning the various Machine Learning algorithms by use of the different Python Machine Learning libraries. I’ve also watched and read through some materials on Cancer. I’m thinking of focusing my research specifically on Breast Cancer in this regard, and have found the following dataset that I could use: https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Breast+Cancer+Wisconsin+(Diagnostic)
I am a Computer Science professional and have a degree in Computer Science as well as an Honours degree (Cum Laude) in IT.
My research project above is for my Masters Thesis.
My supervisor has advised on using an existing Data Model - a Data Model that has already been published. And he has suggested that I focus my Masters Thesis Research Project on improving such a Data Model.
May you please kindly assist me in regards to the above - i.e. what should be my approach to trying to learn Machine Learning and then pursuing this Project - i.e. improving the Data Model?
Also, how and where do I access the Data Model that has been already published by other researchers?
Where would you suggest I get the best Machine Learning in Breast Cancer scientific research papers from?
Please assist.
Many Thanks in advance. It is greatly appreciated!
P.S. Depending on my journey in doing my Masters project, as mentioned above, I will also look to see whether building a Career in Machine Learning interests me as a whole as well.
Thank you so much in advance. Much and truly appreciated.
