Join Innovate Carolina at 79ºWest Coworking Space & Innovation Hub for an enlightening session on the transformative potential of generative AI led by our faculty member Richard Marks. In this session, Marks will explore the practical applications of generative AI, discussing how it works and how it can be harnessed across various industries to revolutionize creativity, design and problem solving. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the leading minds in the field! https://lnkd.in/eixA9YqR

Excellent piece on University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill assistant professor, Amanda DelVecchia's work in freshwater science. Amanda's Aquatic Ecology and Biogeochemistry lab integrates a wide variety of biotic and abiotic data and addresses their complex interactions. She's looking at pooled data across 28 freshwater sites nationwide to improve current understanding of changes in US freshwater ecosystems and collecting data from sensors in local waters to chart carbon dioxide and oxygen release.

For many, summer is a time for rest, relaxation and soaking up sunshine. For ITS, it’s one of the busiest times of the year. Because fewer students are on campus, it’s an ideal time to undertake major work to improve campus systems and infrastructure. Discover some of the new tech updates at #UNC, including increased security, the launch of a new help portal and expanded guest Wi-Fi https://unc.live/3TfC656

The ultimate goal of using #ArtificialIntelligence is to augment human intelligence as opposed to replacing it. Here's a sneak peek into Sean Sylvia and Junier Oliva's presentation that explores collaborative #ClinicalDecisionMaking. Do make yourself free on the 16th of September at UNC Health, Chapel Hill "In the transformative landscape of healthcare, artificial intelligence (AI) presents unparalleled opportunities for enhancing clinical decision-making. The Digital Health Economics and Policy Lab (DHEPlab) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), in collaboration with Thoughtworks, has launched an innovative project to construct an experimentation platform utilizing Reinforcement Learning with Expert Feedback (RLEF). This platform aims to meticulously refine and evaluate the clinical insights produced by AI technologies. Central to our approach is the recruitment of a diverse and inclusive cohort of medical professionals through targeted outreach, ensuring a wide range of perspectives and experiences contribute to the AI refinement process. The platform’s core is its experimental tasks, designed to elicit the responses of clinician experts to AI-augmented clinical vignettes. These tasks are crafted to mirror the complexities of real-life medical decision-making in clinical settings, providing invaluable insights into the design and practical use of AI. This project is at the forefront of methodological innovation, seamlessly weaving together collective intelligence and domain-specific expert feedback. Integration is crucial for overcoming inherent challenges in AI adoption in healthcare, such as building trustworthiness. By developing these methods and creating open-source tools, our aim is to promote the responsible and effective deployment of AI in clinical practice. This presentation will delve into the intricacies of human-AI interaction within healthcare, focusing on our approach to enhance the precision and reliability of AI algorithms supporting measurable improvements in patient care across varied healthcare environments. Join us as we explore the future of medical diagnostics and treatment, propelled by thoughtful integration of artificial intelligence." #artificialintelligence #humanAI #patientcare #medicalcare #healthcareanalytics #HDAA2024

Assistant Professor Yue "Ray" Wang is using his expertise in machine learning to help evaluate software for EPA scientists. We like to think this means that SILS is playing a little part in keeping the sky Carolina Blue. ;) Learn more about this collaboration and how SILS students are gaining hands-on experience using EPA datasets.

I'm writing to encourage folks to check out the #NationalCovidCohortCollaborative. It is the largest, publicly available HIPAA-limited Real-World Dataset and has many data integrations and linkages.
