IIT Madras study on Artificial Intelligence-based Mathematical Model aims to develop an easy-to-use web interface that will help cancer researchers. It also aims to make further studies on mutations. The study on Artificial Intelligence-based Mathematical Model will also be a part of the broader cancer genomic sequence analysis which is being developed by IBSE and RBCDSAI.   

1. Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence-based Mathematical Model. The model intends to identify Cancer-causing alterations in cells.

2. A relatively unexplored technique of leveraging DNA composition has been used to pinpoint genetic alterations responsible for cancer.  

3. Using sophisticated AI techniques, the researchers developed a novel prediction algorithm, NBDriver, and tested its performance on several open-source cancer mutation datasets.
 
4. According to the team, cancer is caused due to the uncontrolled growth of cells driven mainly by genetic alterations.

5. The research was conducted by Dr. Karthik Raman, Faculty Member, Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and AI, RBCDSAI, Prof. B. Ravindran who is the head of RBCDSAI, and also a Mindtree Faculty Fellow IIT Madras. 

6. The result of the experiment has already been published in a peer-reviewed journal. The journal is called International Journal Cancers.
