What is artificial intelligence? In short, artificial intelligence (AI) is the the art of creating intelligent machines. It divides more or less into two schools: symbolic AI and computational intelligence. Symbolic AI is one of the oldest approaches within AI. It deals with expert systems, case based reasoning (CBR), behavioral AI and Bayesian networks. Computational intelligence is a more recent approach. It covers neural networks, evolutionary models and fuzzy systems. Due to real world interaction, AI research is also interested in robotics.
What is medical informatics? In short, medical informatics (MI) is a science developing methods for medical data processing. It covers a variety of disciplines: medical classification and coding, medical image processing, medical decision support and department systems, biostatistics and biosignal analysis, health information systems, medical computer-based education and training, clinical support systems, medical telecommunication and networking etc.
What is medical artificial intelligence? Medical artificial intelligence (MAI) started with AI programs that performed diagnosis and recommended therapies. This focus has broadened meanwhile. Today, medical artificial intelligence covers also monitoring, information retrieval, image processing and recognition, laboratory information systems, medical education, and much more. Due to its objective, medical artificial intelligence is the intersection of information science, artificial intelligence, medicine and health care.
Meva. Medical information retrieval is one of the fastest-growing MAI disciplines. Due to the electronic availability of more and more articles, scientists are able to retrieve information of interest in short time. With PubMeds database, the scientific community can access over 12 million citations to date! But a simple search in PubMed will often result in a very long citation list which is hard to analyze. 
Identification of institutional or author profiles by counting citation fields will be time-consuming. On this site, you can use Meva to solve this problem. Meva is a MEDLINE Postprocessor, a medical data mining service analyzing PubMeds literature search results. Meva condenses the endless list of a MEDLINE retrieval outcome into a well-structured result, showing a graphical representation of counts and relations of the MEDLINE fields. [...]
Intelligent agents. Besides, some "classic" AI programs are provided by this site. Chat bots (avatars) can act as an intelligent human-computer interface. Eliza is the wellknown talking artificial therapist. It was one of the first AI programs in the sixties and shows some fascinating aspects, so it is still worth studying its behaviour. The bot tries to rephrase the questions of the client and reacts on certain keywords. If no keyword is found, Eliza replies with fixed phrases to keep the conversation going. The Eliza chat bot on this site is a modified example of the original. [...]
