A semi‐supervised Support Vector Machine model for predicting the language outcomes following cochlear implantation based on pre‐implant brain fMRI imaging

We developed a machine learning model to predict whether or not a cochlear implant (CI) candidate will develop effective language skills within 2 years after the CI surgery by using the pre‐implant brain fMRI data from the candidate.
