The MAVEBA Workshop proceedings, held on a biannual basis, collect the scientific papers presented both as oral and poster contributions, during the conference. The main subjects are: development of theoretical and mechanical models as an aid to the study of main phonatory dysfunctions, as well as the biomedical engineering methods for the analysis of voice signals and images, as a support to clinical diagnosis and classification of vocal pathologies.

In the last two decades, machine learning has developed dramatically and is still experiencing a fast and everlasting change in paradigms, methodology, applications and other aspects. This book offers a compendium of current and emerging machine learning paradigms in healthcare informatics and reflects on their diversity and complexity. Machine Learning Approaches and Applications in Applied Intelligence for Healthcare Data Analytics presents a variety of techniques designed to enhance and empower multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional machine learning research. It provides many case studies and a panoramic view of data and machine learning techniques, providing the opportunity for novel insights and discoveries. The book explores the theory and practical applications in healthcare and includes a guided tour of machine learning algorithms, architecture design and interdisciplinary challenges. This book is useful for research scholars and students involved in critical condition analysis and computation models.

The International Workshop on Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications (MAVEBA) came into being in 1999 from the particularly felt need of sharing know-how, objectives and results between areas that until then seemed quite distinct such as bioengineering, medicine and singing. MAVEBA deals with all aspects concerning the study of the human voice with applications ranging from the neonate to the adult and elderly. Over the years the initial issues have grown and spread also in other aspects of research such as occupational voice disorders, neurology, rehabilitation, image and video analysis. MAVEBA takes place every two years always in Firenze, Italy.
