Eighth Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Workshop
Announcement
The Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group (CTSOG) invites you to join us March 16-18, 2022 in Orlando, Florida to discuss AI, Complex Systems in Biomedicine, and the role of ontology both in tempering the expectations of AI and advancing it to goals it can achieve. For example, we hear things all the time like “Google’s deep-learning program for determining the 3D shapes of proteins stands to transform biology, say scientists.” An optimism of this sort as to the potential of AI is shared by many working in the field of clinical and translational science. The purpose of this workshop is to explore the basis for this optimism, by looking at successes and failures of AI in different areas of biomedicine.
Example topics include:
- Can NLP build useful medical ontologies?
- Machine learning and the role of ontology
- AI and team science
- AI and medical diagnosis and clinical decision support
- The limits of AI when applied to complex systems
- Complex systems and the replication crisis
- AI in therapeutic decision making
- AI in modelling cell biology
- AI in modelling systems biology
- AI-driven cell ontology
- The challenges of implementing AI in healthcare
Persons who are interested in participating can register here. If you have any questions, please contact William Hogan at hoganwr@ufl.edu.
