One of the grand challenges in our digital world are the large, complex
and often weakly structured data sets, and massive amounts of
unstructured information. This "big data" challenge is most evident in
biomedical informatics: the trend towards precision medicine has
resulted in an explosion in the amount of generated biomedical data
sets. Despite the fact that human experts are very good at pattern
recognition in dimensions of
This state-of-the-art survey is an output of the HCI-KDD expert network
