The origins of AI can be traced to Alan Turing who proposed the question “Can machines think?” and argued that machines can indeed think intelligently. While it is arguable if machines can think, it is undoubtedly clear tod… text/html 2019-10-13T10:23:56+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.thevislab.com/lab/doku.php?id=clinical-informatics&rev=1570976636&do=diff Clinical Informatics Clinical informatics is the application of computing methods including artificial intelligence in the delivery healthcare services. Predictive and causal models using big data and artificial intelligence will be increasingly used in clinical decision-making. These models will power a new generation of clinical decision support tools in the coming decade.

As electronic medical records (EMRs) capture increasing amounts of data per patient, compiling a clinical narrative becomes cognitively more demanding. This information overload is particularly challenging in settings such as the intensive care unit (ICU) where a new data point may be added to a patient’s record almost every minute. Moreover, the display of patient data in current EMRs is not s… text/html 2025-11-03T15:38:51+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.thevislab.com/lab/doku.php?id=members&rev=1762202331&do=diff Members Principal Investigator * Shyam Visweswaran, MD, PhD Students * Amin Tajgardoon, MS, (Pursuing PhD in Intelligent Systems Program) * Joshua W Anderson, (Pursuing PhD in Intelligent Systems Program) * Nihal Murali, (Pursuing PhD in Intelligent Systems Program) Alumni * text/html 2021-07-04T10:36:33+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.thevislab.com/lab/doku.php?id=misc&rev=1625409393&do=diff Misc Statistics * All About that Bayes: Probability, Statistics, and the Quest to Quantify Uncertainty - Kristin Lennox * Everything wrong with statistics (and how to fix it) - Kristin Lennox Deep learning * Practical Deep Learning for Coders * Dive into Deep Learning * Deep Learning textbook -- Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville * Mathematics for Machine Learning * 11-785 Introduction to Deep Learning -- CMU Fall 2020 Python * Jupyter Notebook: An Introduct… text/html 2023-09-16T08:13:04+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.thevislab.com/lab/doku.php?id=publications&rev=1694866384&do=diff Journal papers and conference proceedings See Google Scholar for recent papers. 107.
