IDAL has recently participated in the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics, that was held in the nice Las Arenas resort in Valencia from 1st to 4th June. IDAL participated with a work dealing with the use of Machine Learning techniques applied to plan the implantation of intracorneal rings in Keratoconus patients and also organizing a special session on interpretable Machine Learning models on biomedicine and health.
IDAL is involved in the organization of the Special Session “Emerging trends in Computational Intelligence methods for Biomedicine and Healthcare”, in the upcoming International Joint Conference on Neural Networks that will be held in Killarney (Ireland) from 12th to 17th July, 2015. Papers can be submitted up to 15th January 2015 accessing here. The Special Session must be selected as ‘Main Research Topic” in the paper submission form. More info about the Special Session available at this link
IDAL is co-organizing a special session entitled “Computational Intelligence Challenges for Health & Wellbeing”, in the 2014 IEEE Symposium Series on Compitational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2014), Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining. The CFP is available at http://www.cms.livjm.ac.uk/cichw/. Deadline for paper submissions is next June, the 15th.
We are experiencing a data revolution in both sciences and industry. This is in part the result of cheaper data capture and storage technology, but it is also the culmination of a cultural transformation in the commercial world, whereby data are now viewed as a source of actionable insights, much like in the sciences. Some IDAL members have attended recently a Workshop held in the Imperial College of London focused in Big Data.
Largely the focus of the Big Data revolution has until recently been on infrastructural developments, such as the Apache Hadoop project. And yet, the availability of Big Data can be little more than a lost opportunity without respectively powerful analytics. The statistics and machine learning communities have risen to this challenge, with a growing part of their respective l
iterature dedicated to the challenges posed by Big Data, popularly known as the four “V”s: enabling scalability with respect to Velocity and Volume, as well as analysing data of a Variety of types, including altogether novel types (e.g., network data) – while ensuring Veracity of insights through adopting the use of principled statistical methods. And yet, integration of cutting edge statistical methodology with the latest infrastructural technologies has been less forthcoming in practise.
This workshop aims to help bridge that perceived gap, by bringing together world-renowned academic experts on Big Data, with representatives from innovative companies that have embraced Big Data in practise.
The workshop is sponsored
by the EPSRC, Royal Statistical Society and Mental Innovations.
Some IDAL members are currently at MAEB 2012, that is being held in Albacete betwwen 8 and 10 February. MAEB is for Metaheuritics and Bioinspired and Evolutive Algorithms, and is the 8th Spanich congress. IDAL contributes with two papers to the congress.
IDAL members will attend in next weeks to IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence – SSCI 2011 , that will be hold in Paris (France) April 11-15, and to European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning, hold in Bruges (Belgium) 27 – 29 April. IDAL member José D. Martín collaborates in a special session (“Seeing is believing”) in this congress.
Jose D. Martin collaborates at IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence – SSCI 2011, collaborating in session “Analysis of data for health”, dentro del simposio IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM 2011), with Alfredo Vellido, (Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain) , Jose Martín-Guerrero, (University of Valencia, Spain) and Roberto Tagliaferri, (University of Salerno, Italy).
IDAL member José D. Martín collaborates in ESANN 2011, European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks,Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning, that will be held in Bruges (Belgium) in 27 – 29 April 2011. Prof. José D. Martín collaborates in orgnaizing the session “Seeing is believing: The importance of visualization in real-world machine learning applications” with Alfredo Vellido (Technical Univ. of Catalonia, Spain), Paulo J. G. Lisboa (Liverpool John Moores Univ., UK), and Fabrice Rossi (Télécom ParisTech, France).
