I have started a new weekly newsletter that will be a bibliography of new research articles on the use of automated knowledge discovery in medicine. The bibliography is compiled by a machine learning program developed by Thomas Kirchel, to which I provide manual abstract relevance feedback. You can subscribe to it free by signing up for the newsletter "bims-aukdim Automated knowledge discovery techniques in medicine" at:
