Nikolaos Bourbakis
Professor, Wright State University, USA
Talk Title: Synergies of AI and Knowledge Engineering for
Healthcare & Biomedicine
Abstract: In today complex computational environment and demanded IT responses, single based methodologies will not offer robust and wide range solutions. Thus, this talk will address how Synergies of AI and Knowledge Engineering Methodologies may offer better solutions to some of these major problems in Healthcare & Biomedicine.
Biography: Dr. Nikolaos Bourbakis (IEEE Fellow-‐1996) currently is a Distinguished Professor of Information & Technology and the Director of the Center of Assistive Research Technologies (CART) at Wright State University, OH. He is the founder and the EIC of the Int. Journal on AI Tools and the Int. Journal on Monitoring and Surveillance Tech Research (IGI-‐Global, Publ.), the Founder and General Chair of several International IEEE Computer Society Conferences, Symposia and Workshops.
He pursues research in Assistive Technologies, Applied AI, Bioengineering, Information Security, and Parallel/Distributed Processing funded by USA andEuropean government and industry. He has extensively published in IEEE and International Journals and graduated several dozens of PhD students. His research work has been internationally recognized and won several prestigious awards. Some of them are: IEEE Computer Society Technical Research Achievement Award 1998; ASC Outstanding Scientists & Engineers Research Award-‐2005; Dr. F. Russ IEEE Biomedical Engineering award, Dayton Ohio, 2010; Most Cited Article in Pattern Recognition Journal, 2006-‐2010; IEEE ICTAI CV Ramamoorthy best paper Award 2012 & 2015; Recognition Award for his Outstanding Scholarly Achievements and Contributions in the field of Computer Science, UNIPI-‐GR, 2013; IEEE EMBS-‐GR Award of Achievements, 2013; IEEE Computer Society 28 years ICTAI Outstanding Service & Leadership Recognition, 2016 and others.
Ophir Frieder
Professor, Georgetown University, USA
Talk Title: Computing Medicine
Abstract: Computing continues to change the landscape of nearly all domains, medicine included. For instance, drug resistance is predicted and avoided via data mining applications; radiological reading errors are detected and prevented via natural language processing; and disease outbreak is detected early via text mining techniques. These are but just some examples where computer intelligence is reshaping medical practice. Specifically, we describe the monitoring of social media to detect disease outbreak and describe the implications of such surveillance schemes to healthcare planning for a major children-focused hospital. We continue by describing how conventional mining approaches significantly improve urinary tract infection treatment plans as developed jointly with and for another major hospital. Finally, we describe automated means for the detection of differences in radiological readings and describe how such detection schemes are used in yet a third major hospital.
Biography: Ophir Frieder holds the Robert L. McDevitt, K.S.G., K.C.H.S. and Catherine H. McDevitt L.C.H.S. Chair in Computer Science and Information Processing and previously served as the Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Georgetown University. He is also Professor of Biostatistics, Bioinformatics and Biomathematics in the Georgetown University Medical Center. In addition to his academic positions, he is the Chief Scientific Officer for UMBRA Health Corp.(UHC) and a Research Associate at the Institute of Information Science and Technology at the Italian National Research Council (ISTI-CNR). He is a Fellow of the AAAS, ACM, IEEE, and NAI, and a Member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.
