Jake Luo, PhD, Associate Professor, Health Care Informatics
\nZilber College of Public Health<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly useful tool for supporting many aspects of the research process. This seminar provides a practical introduction to AI tools and workflows that can assist with tasks such as literature review, academic writing, creating scientific illustrations, etc. Drawing on our own exploration of these tools, we will share practical examples, discuss their potential benefits and limitations, and highlight considerations for their responsible use. The seminar is intended for faculty, staff, and students who are interested in exploring how AI can be thoughtfully incorporated into their research workflow.<\/p>\n

About the presenters:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jake Luo\u2019s<\/strong> research interest lies in data-driven predictive analysis using machine learning-based algorithms and technologies, such as data mining, natural language processing and knowledge representation and modeling. He is interested in investigating how these computing technologies can be used to improve health care by providing intelligent decision support for clinicians, medical researchers, patients, and policymakers.<\/p>\n

Luo\u2019s active research programs involve developing innovative heath data science technologies for knowledge discovery, adapting machine learning algorithms to enhance clinical data processing, implementing collaborative team science initiatives to improve health services and research, and creating intelligent clinical informatics tools to support evidence-based decision making.<\/p>\n

Laleh Jamshidi<\/strong> is an Assistant Professor in Biostatistics in Joseph J. Zilber College of Public Health at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Prior to her current appointment, she was a Research Associate and Post Doctoral Fellow in Canadian Institute for Public Safety Research and Treatment (CIPSRT) at the University of Regina in Canada. She is so passionate about collaboration in applying statistical methods in public health, both methodologically and theoretically.<\/p>\n

The seminar can also be\u00a0attended virtually on Teams.<\/a><\/p>\n
