Machine learning in the operating room: focus, performance, and the medical record

This proposed study will significantly enhance our current understanding of how specific intra-operative factors can impact patient outcomes. Our proposed work will provide a proof of concept that machine learning can objectively predict a specific, high-impact post-operative complication, allowing us to move forward with scaling this work to a wide variety of surgical settings. Moreover, […]

Multi-institute domain adaptation by adversarial constrained medical time series representation learning

Hospitals strive to perform cutting edge medical treatment, treat all patients fairly, and reduce operating costs, while also enabling caregivers to spend more time interacting with patients. Artificial intelligence and machine learning promise these things. However, medical data provides unique challenges for machine learning. Currently, if a hospital wants to include an algorithm for automated […]

Predicting Treatment Sensitivity in Hypotensive Patients

Anticoagulation with Warfarin is indicated and required for post-operative cardiovascular patients. However, it is a high-risk medication with a narrow therapeutic range where sub-optimal dosing can lead to complications and even death. While multiple risk factors have been associated to Warfarin sensitivity, the prediction of optimal Warfarin dosing strategies remains ineffective and requires trial and […]

A Survey on Application of Visualization and AI Algorithm-Driven Technology for Healthcare

Healthcare facilities collect and produce vast amounts of clinical-relevant data. Various AI-related methods (like computer-aided detection for mammography and the learning and visualization of clinical pathways) are applied to healthcare these days, and visualization techniques are also used to support clinicians due to the complexities of clinical data. This self-contained survey focuses on the assessment […]

Assessing and Identifying Clinical Checklists in Intensive Care Settings

type of treatment they will provide to patients. With technological improvements and the availability of a significant volume of data, it is increasingly difficult for care providers to properly evaluate and analyze the options available to them. The current health condition of the patient–reflected in the monitored observations which are recorded in EMR–may depend on […]

Graphics Processing Unit Solutions for Power Systems Computer Aided Design: Advanced Development with the University of Winnipeg

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are usually employed to quickly render images on everyday computer screens, and do so quickly and efficiently for relatively little cost compared to the use of Central Processing Units (CPUs) that make up the “brain” of the computer. Modern GPUs are able to do hundreds or thousands of simultaneous calculations; rewriting […]

Hierarchical graph kernels for classification of molecules

The central problem of pharmaceutical research is to understand the effect of a certain molecule on human or animal biology. Many machine learning models have been developed in recent years and show great efficiency and accuracy for this kind of predictions. However, a problem common to many of the best algorithms is that they require […]
