Title: Text Mining for Biomedical Applications
Abstract:
This talk will provide an overview of recent developments in neural information extraction at the National Centre for Text Mining to support biomedical applications. Applications range from pathway construction, database curation, semantic search and systematic review development. Two systems will be presented: a) LitPathExplorer, a visual text analytics tools that integrates advanced text mining, semi-supervised learning and interactive visualization, to facilitate the exploration and analysis of pathway models and b) RobotAnalyst, a web-based screening system combining machine learning and text mining for document prioritisation.

Title: Big Data in Climate and Earth Sciences: Challenges and Opportunities for Data Science
Abstract:
The climate and earth sciences have recently undergone a rapid transformation from a data-poor to a data-rich environment. In particular, massive amount of data about Earth and its environment is now continuously being generated by a large number of Earth observing satellites as well as physics-based earth system models running on large-scale computational platforms. These massive and information-rich datasets offer huge potential for understanding how the Earth's climate and ecosystem have been changing and how they are being impacted by humans actions. This talk will discuss various challenges involved in analyzing these massive data sets as well as opportunities they present for both advancing machine learning as well as the science of climate change in the context of monitoring the state of the tropical forests and surface water on a global scale.

Title: Towards a New Discipline of Data Science
Abstract:
The emergence of Data Science has led to a flourishing of initiatives, centers, degrees, programs and organizational units at educational and research institutions around the world. The demand for data science know-how from students, parents, scientists and employers is strong and getting stronger. However, the interdisciplinary nature of the topic and the lack of a consensus around its definition raise challenges for its implementation in the modern university setting. Many ongoing efforts treat Data Science as simply a combination of topics from existing fields. While such an approach has obvious practical advantages, I believe that the challenges raised by Data Science imply that it should be more productively pursued as a new discipline in its own right. In this talk I will try to frame this larger question with a goal of initiating a discussion to identify the intellectual opportunities and research questions that could lie at the heart of a new discipline of Data Science.

Title: Good machine learning for better healthcare
Abstract:
We will discuss learnings from Stanford Medicine's Program for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare, with the mission of bringing AI technologies to the clinic, safely, cost effectively and ethically. Using our experience in deploying predictive model to improve access to palliative care services, we will discuss potential solutions to issues relating to model correctness, interpretability, fairness, and equity as well as issues such as autonomy of decision making and fiduciary responsibility. Drawing on our experience in running a clinical consult service for generating evidence from the collective experience of patients, we will discuss the challenges as well as potential solutions to use aggregate patient data at the bedside.
