Machine Learning for Medical Research

The state of the art AI technology has been playing significant role in medical fields. Recently, led by Prof Xiaohong Gao, Middlesex University is in partnership with several other institutions and NHS hospitals working on

  • AI in early detection of cancers (funded by CRUK),
  • AI in visualisation of HPV virus (funded by The Royal Society) and
  • AI in Pathology (funded by CRUK).

More information on these funded projects are at:

  • Endo.AI – Real time automated endoscopic detection of oesophageal squamous cell cancer in early and precancerous stages
  • Deep Visualisation – Visualisation of super resolution microscopy data with structural contents using deep learning techniques
  • PRISM – Machine Learning for Discovery of Pre-neoplastic signature in Mesothelioma

LOCATION:

Join Zoom Meeting
https://zoom.us/j/94355790919?pwd=cWZGT1dlRVRianJET2Uyd1Vlcjg0Zz09

Channel opens at 2:45 PM London

Meeting ID: 943 5579 0919
Passcode: kK6eE8

ABSTRACT:

We see a lot of research on how to design for and with artificial intelligence but how can we apply it to real world problems? Many applications of AI are tightly defined and focussed on automation of procedural tasks. However at the Dock, Accenture’s global innovation hub, many clients arrive with strategic abstract challenges rather than well-defined problems. In this talk I’ll introduce our approach to Product and service innovation with a focus on our facilitation approach for AI ideation. During the talk I will cover some of the applications of AI to projects we have completed at the Dock.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Connor is a systems thinker who bridges the gap between design, technology and data science. Initially trained in graphic design, Connor evolved his practice to include information visualization and systems design. His academic research studies socio-technical systems and how interactive visualizations can support collaboration between human and artificial intelligence.

At Fjord, Connor is the Group Design Director for Fjord Dublin, a studio that sits at the heart of Accenture’s multidisciplinary innovation hub, the Dock. Here he fosters collaboration between designers, data scientists & software engineers as they tackle client challenges across a wide range of industries.
