Abstract

Machine learning predictive techniques have been shown to be useful in establishing cancer prognosis. However, no single machine learning technique provides the best results in all cases. This paper introduces an automated meta-learning technique that learns to predict the best performing machine learning technique for each patient. The individually selected machine learning technique is then used for prognosis for the given patient. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated over a database of retrospective records of pancreatic cancer resections.
