Σύνοψη	Machine learning-assisted pathway enrichment analysis integrates classical statistical pathway enrichment methods — such as over-representation analysis or gene set enrichment analysis — with machine learning algorithms to improve sensitivity, handle high-dimensional omics data, and uncover non-linear biological patterns. The approach moves beyond ranking pathways by p-value alone, using ML models to weight gene contributions, distinguish signal from noise across many samples, and prioritize biologically meaningful pathways in complex datasets.	Random Forest is an ensemble learning method, introduced by Leo Breiman in 2001, that grows many decision trees on bootstrap samples of the data and combines their votes to produce strong classification and regression. By pooling many slightly different trees, it produces more accurate and more stable predictions than any single tree.
