      <p>This abstract summarizes the presentation of the EURIZON project titled "Artificial Intelligence in
Medicine: Small Data Approach (SmallAIM)" at the 7th International Conference on Informatics &amp;
DataDriven Medicine, held at the University of Birmingham, UK, from November 14–16, 2024. The presenters
discussed the challenges of applying artificial intelligence (AI) to prediction and classification tasks using
small datasets, with a particular focus on medical applications. Traditional data mining methods often
struggle to achieve the necessary accuracy when working with limited data, due to issues such as
overfitting, noise, and poor generalization. The presenters introduced a novel methodology that combines
ensemble learning and data augmentation techniques to improve prediction accuracy in data-scarce
scenarios. Specifically, they proposed a procedure based on axial symmetry to artificially expand small
datasets, enabling machine learning models and artificial neural networks to generalize more effectively.
By integrating ensemble learning and data augmentation within a single kernel or nonlinear model, the
approach demonstrated promising results in achieving high-accuracy predictions. The presenters
highlighted various real-world medical use cases where the proposed methodology can help analyze small,
constrained datasets, offering potential solutions for improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing
resource requirements in medical practice. This work is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020
research and innovation program under grant agreement No 871072</p>
