Hi all, This is a last call for submissions to the NIPS 2015 workshop on machine learning in healthcare. We've extended the deadline for submission of abstracts to Monday Oct. 26th.
Cheers, David ------ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION NIPS 2015 WORKSHOP ON MACHINE LEARNING IN HEALTHCARE Friday, December 11, 2015 Palais des Congrès in Montreal https://sites.google.com/site/nipsmlhc15/home We are pleased to announce our workshop on Machine Learning in Healthcare to take place at this year’s Neural Information Processing Systems conference at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal on Friday, Dec. 11th. The objective of this workshop is to present problems of growing relevance in healthcare and discuss how machine learning techniques can be used to address them through collaborations between clinicians and ML-researchers. INVITED SPEAKERS Anmol Madan, PhD -- CEO of ginger.io Steven Horng, MD MMSc -- Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Emergency Medicine Nigam Shah, MBBS, PhD -- Assistant Professor of Medicine, Stanford Center for Biomedical Research Finale Doshi-Velez, PhD -- Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Harvard Ambuj Tewari, PhD -- Assistant Professor Statistics & EECS, University Of Michigan, Ann Arbor ABSTRACT SUBMISSION We invite submissions of 2-page abstracts for poster contributions to the workshops and for short contributed talks. Topics of interest include all areas of machine learning in healthcare such as disease modeling and detection, knowledge discovery from electronic health records, electronic phenotyping, temporal models of disease progression, Markov decision processes for decision support, dealing with missing data and irregularly sampled data, uncertainty and its role in medical statistics, calibration, model criticism, and causal inference. Submitted papers should be up two pages long excluding references and in NIPS-2015 format. Submissions should be sent by email to <nips15m...@gmail.com> by October 26, 2015. We additionally invite submissions of “Healthcare Challenges” by healthcare scientists and clinicians, which are short summaries of clinical problems that they would like to see solved (or are trying to solve). Accepted submissions will be invited to be presented in a 5 minute pitch followed by 5 minutes of discussion, with the aim being to spark discussion on new problems and foster new collaborations between clinicians and machine learning researchers. For more details see: https://sites.google.com/site/nipsmlhc15/call-for-healthcare-challenges Presenters may be eligible for travel assistance to attend the meeting.
