Title: Knowledge Graph Creation and Curation


Abstract:

Knowledge Graphs are increasingly important resources in science, medicine and industry, and systems for storing and querying Knowledge Graphs are becoming increasingly capable. However, creating and curating high quality knowledge is still a hard problem, and this could impede their adoption. In this talk we will consider the nature of the problem and survey some recent (and not so recent) work that attempts to address it.

Title: Retrieving information, answering questions, and detecting misinformation about COVID-19


Abstract:

One of the effects of COVID-19 pandemic is a rapidly growing and changing stream of publications to inform clinicians, researchers, policy makers, and patients about the health, socio-economic, and cultural consequences of the pandemic. Leveraging this stream of information is essential for developing policies, guidelines and strategies during the pandemic, for recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, and for designing measures to prevent recurrence of similar threats. Managing this information stream manually is not feasible. Automated approaches are needed to quickly bring the most salient and reliable points to the readers’ attention. Leveraging the CORD-19 collection of scientific articles, data from government sites, and questions about SARS-CoV-2 asked by the researchers, clinicians and the public, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards (NIST), Ai2 and UTHealth and OHSU researchers, we have developed datasets for retrieval of COVID-19 information and automatic question answering. These datasets allowed us to (1) conduct a community-wide evaluation of the systems’ ability to satisfy the needs for high-quality timely information about COVID-19; (2) develop deep-learning approaches to meeting information needs as they evolve during pandemics; and (3) develop approaches to detection of misinformation. This talk will present the approaches to dataset development, our systems for question answering and misinformation detection, and some preliminary results.

Title: Text mining methods for evidence-based medicine


Abstract:

Text mining methods have been used for the effective and timely identification of knowledge for evidence-based medicine. Evidence-based medicine seeks to answer well-posed questions using existing results by applying a systematic and transparent methodology. The evidence, e.g., results of clinical trials, should be collected and evaluated without bias, using consistent criteria for inclusion. Literature databases such as MEDLINE provide instant access to millions of research articles, obtained from an ever-expanding list of indexed journals. This progress comes at a cost. The majority of clinicians do not possess the expert literature search skills required to develop complex search strategies, and existing databases are manually updated. I will discuss methods for automating the process of systematic reviews, by automating the process of search, screening, and data extraction methods. These text mining methods have been integrated to the system RobotAnalyst currently used by NICE.

Title: Text mining activities in the context of the MOOD project


Abstract:

he MOOD project (https://mood-h2020.eu) aims at harnessing the data mining and analytical techniques to the big data originating from multiple sources to improve detection, monitoring, and assessment of emerging diseases in Europe. In this presentation, I will present part of the text mining activities conducted in the TETIS lab. In particular, we will see how text analysis could help to detect weak signal for epidemic outbreak detection.

Title: Incorporating Graph Data into Machine Learning


Abstract:

We perform data mining tasks today over huge and growing datasets. To handle scale, we rely on a handful of highly optimized primitive operations. The current workhorse primitive in training of ML models is stochastic gradient descent, which incorporates per-instance label data efficiently into a model's internal state. However, information is often available to us, not just as labels, but also through connections between data instances, often presented as graphs, sometimes in other forms. In this talk, Andrew Tomkins will describe a number of different approaches to incorporating such higher-order data into scalable training and inference, and will suggest some open problems in this area.

Title: Predicting dynamical processes in complex networks: a machine learning approach


Abstract:

One of the most fundamental problems in Network Science is to understand how dynamical processes are influenced by the network organization. For instance, if we can understand how patterns of connections between coupled oscillators influence the evolution of the synchronous state, then we can change the network topology to control the level of synchronization of power grids and electronic circuits. In this talk, we will discuss how machine learning methods can be used to predict disease propagation in networks and the state of coupled oscillators. The current challenges in Network Science and some possible ideas for future research will also be discussed in our talk.

Title: The Big Short with AI in Biomedical Sciences: When Actions Don’t Follow Predictions


Abstract:

Big data, high-performance computing, and (deep) machine learning are increasingly becoming key to precision medicine—from identifying disease risks and taking preventive measures, to making diagnoses and personalizing treatment for individuals. Precision medicine, however, is not only about predicting risks and outcomes, but also about weighing interventions. Interventional clinical predictive models require the correct specification of cause and effect, and the calculation of so-called counterfactuals, that is, alternative scenarios.
