SUMMARY:Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series presents Rafael Rodriguez Gárciga 10/26
DESCRIPTION:Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series is pleased to present ultra contemporary artist and data scientist Rafael Rodriguez Gárciga. Join us on Thursday\, October 26\, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. This event is free and open to the public (light lunch). The lecture navigates the exhaustion of creativity\, probing its implications for science\, art\, and philosophy as the tripartite domain of thought. \nIn person at Richter Library\, Conference Room 343\,\n1300 Memorial Drive\, 3rd Floor\, Coral Gables\, FL 33146 (Map + Directions) \nRegister Now\nTALK TITLE: “The Exhaustion of Creativity: The Need for a New Mode of Thought in the Era of Global Boiling” \nAbstract \nIn an era characterized by apparent life evaporation\, this lecture navigates the exhaustion of creativity\, probing its implications for science\, art\, and philosophy as the tripartite domain of thought. As creativity is exhausted\, an impasse emerges: can the creativity tasked with generating novel solutions still perform its role when its resources are depleted? This investigation delves into a critical question: when the current boiling point lacks transformative potential\, what transpires when creativity becomes exhaustive? \nCreativity is redefined as a foundational principle encompassing information\, emergence\, and ontogenesis by broadening the scope beyond human mental activity. This expanded perspective reframes creativity as the underpinning force within the interconnected spheres of science\, art\, and philosophy. The lecture introduces ‘the problem of creativity’ as the common nucleus driving global crises\, where converging concerns converge into a singular focus. \nThis lecture proposes a distinct approach—an alternative mode of thought—necessitated by the inadequacy of established disciplinary boundaries upheld by the tripartite structure of Science\, Art\, and Philosophy. This structure\, inherently programmed by the problem of creativity\, grapples with revealing alternative perspectives obscured by this very quandary. Thus\, the lecture embarks on a journey beyond the confines of conventional thought\, demanding a fresh mode of thinking capable of transcending these constraints. \nThe lecture unfolds its discourse in a sequential progression. Initially\, it meticulously dissects the centrality of the problem of creativity within the nexus of converging global crises\, unveiling its role in shaping the incapacitation of conventional domains in offering alternatives. Subsequently\, it introduces the notion of Prototypification—a paradigmatic shift spawned by techno-science that elevates possibility above reality\, epitomized in the prototype’s emblematic form. This conceptual transition stands as the keystone to understanding the contemporary worldview.\nThe lecture then illuminates the triad of Urbanization\, Datification\, and Environmentalization as emblematic consequences of Prototypification’s prevalence. These contemporary issues\, propagated by the convergence of digital technologies\, demand inspection under distinct headings: \n\n‘Prototyping Governance’ investigates the convergence of DAOs\, real-world asset tokenization\, and Digital Twins\, ushering in a governance shift from entities to possibilities.\n‘Interfacing Actuality’ explores the convergence of metamaterials\, spatial computing\, and IoT\, transforming actuality into an interface.\n‘Prototyping Ecology’ delves into the convergence of Climate Tech and Smart Cities\, encompassing a spectrum of technologies within their purview\, wherein ecology assumes the guise of the relationship between potentials.\n\nConcluding the lecture\, a compelling project is unveiled—an exemplar reflecting a paradigm shift beyond the confines of creativity’s challenge and Prototypification. Envisioned within the context of Miami’s urban natural areas\, this project materializes novel perspectives on the interplay between urban landscapes\, technology\, and the environment\, propelling us toward a new era of thought. \n  \nAbout Rafael \nRafael Rodriguez Gárciga was born in the town of Cojimar\, a small fishing village east of La Habana\, Cuba. Growing up in a fishing village exposed him at a young age to the process of boat building. This early exposure instilled in him an interest for wood carving and fabrication that developed into an interest in sculpture. He attended the National Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro. In 2010\, Rafael emigrated to Miami where he earned a BFA from New World School of the Arts. He has shown locally at Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation\, Aluna Art Foundation\, Miami Biennale and The Yard at Casalin.

SUMMARY:Data Citizens Distinguished Lecture Series presents Anant Madabhushi 5/4
DESCRIPTION:Join us for another “Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series” talk on AI in Precision Medicine featuring Dr. Anant Madabhushi. Dr. Madabhushi is the Donnell Institute Professor\, Biomedical Engineering\, at Case School of Engineering\, and the Director for the Center for Computational Imaging & Personalized Diagnostics at Case Western Reserve University. \nData Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series is an ongoing course of in-depth talks by experts in the field of data science on a wide variety of topics including data visualization\, big data\, AI\, and predictive analytics. The Data Citizens lecture series is co-sponsored by the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and is free and open to the public. \nRegister Now | Wednesday 5/4\, 4:00-5:00 PM\nTALK TITLE:  “Artificial Intelligence Across Length Scales: Implications for Precision Medicine” \nTraditional biology generally looks at only a few aspects of an organism at a time and attempts to molecularly dissect diseases and study them part by part with the hope that the sum of knowledge of parts would help explain the operation of the whole. Rarely has this been a successful strategy to understand the causes and cures for complex diseases. \nThe motivation for a systems-based approach to disease understanding aims to understand how large numbers of interrelated health variables\, gene expression profiling\, its cellular architecture and microenvironment\, as seen in its histological image features\, its 3-dimensional tissue architecture\, and vascularization\, as seen in dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI\, and its metabolic features\, as seen by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) or Positron Emission Tomography (PET)\, result in the emergence of definable phenotypes. \nAt the Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics (CCIPD) at Case Western Reserve University\, Dr. Madabhushi has been developing computerized knowledge alignment\, representation\, and fusion tools for integrating and correlating heterogeneous biological data spanning different spatial and temporal scales\, modalities\, and functionalities. These tools include computerized feature analysis methods for extracting subvisual attributes for characterizing disease appearance and behavior on radiographic (radiomics) and digitized pathology images (pathomics). \nIn this talk\, Dr. Madabhushi will discuss the development work in CCIPD on new radiomic and pathomic approaches for capturing intra-tumoral heterogeneity and modeling tumor appearance. He will also focus on how these radiomic and pathomic approaches can be applied to predicting disease outcome\, recurrence\, progression\, and response to therapy in the context of prostate\, brain\, rectal\, oropharyngeal\, and lung cancers. Additionally he will also discuss some recent work on looking at use of pathomics in the context of racial health disparity and the creation of more precise and tailored prognostic and response prediction models. \nAbout Anant Madabhushi\, PhD \nAnant Madabhushi\, PhD\, is the Donnell Institute Professor of biomedical engineering at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland and director of the university’s Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics (CCIPD).

In 2015\, he made Crain’s Cleveland Business magazine’s “Forty under 40” list. In 2019\, 2020\, and 2021 Madabhushi was named to The Pathologist’s Power List\, a list of 100 most inspiring professionals in pathology and laboratory medicine. In 2020\, he received the Diekhoff Award for Distinguished Graduate Student Mentoring at CWRU. In 2021 he was honored as one of Crain’s Cleveland Business Notable Entrepreneurs of the year and also was conferred a Faculty Distinguished Research Award by CWRU. \nMadabhushi’s work on developing “smart computers for identifying lung cancer patients who will benefit from chemotherapy” was ranked as one of the top 10 medical breakthroughs of 2018 by Prevention Magazine. In 2019\, Nature Magazine called him out as one of five scientists pursuing truly offbeat and innovative approaches in cancer research. His work on using AI for addressing health disparities\, especially in identifying differences in the appearance of prostate cancer between black and white men\, received national attention in 2020. \nMadabhushi has secured almost $80 million in grant funding and co-founded two companies\, Vascuvis Inc. (now Elucid Bioimaging) and IbRiS Inc.\, which was acquired by Inspirata in 2015.

SUMMARY:Data Citizens Lecture Series presents Hillary Leone and Daniel Bor 4/7
DESCRIPTION:Join us for another “Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series” talk featuring multidisciplinary artist Hillary Leone in a conversation with University of Cambridge neuroscientist Daniel Bor that will explore how they are using data to create art and advance science. Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series is an ongoing course of in-depth talks by experts in the field of data science on a wide variety of topics including data visualization\, big data\, artificial intelligence\, and predictive analytics. \nThe Data Citizens lecture series is co-sponsored by the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). This lecture is sponsored by the UM Department of Interactive Media and the Ribeiro Innovation Fund Speaker Series\, and is free and open to the public. \nRegister Now  | Thursday\, April 7\, 2022\, 4:00-500 PM\nTALK TITLE:  Data at the Intersection of Art and Science \nSynch.Live is a participatory art experience designed to mobilize our human instinct to cooperate\, and an open technology research framework that will allow scientists to study collective behavior. The work takes inspiration from emergent systems in nature like flocking birds or swarming ants that work together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. Emergence is incredibly broad in scope\, capturing the creation of galaxies\, intelligent behavior in ants\, economics\, ecosystems\, and conscious brains. Recent advances in information theory have allowed three of Synch.Live’s collaborating scientists\, with colleagues\, to develop an algorithm to quantify emergence. In Synch.Live\, we use the algorithm behind-the-scenes to measure how emergent the group as a whole becomes. While the algorithm is tested\, our application—measuring emergent behavior among humans – is radically new. Each instance of the game will generate anonymized tracking data which will become raw material for 2D and 3D artwork and research data for scientists studying collective behavior. \n  \nAbout Hillary Leone \nHillary Leone is an internationally recognized multidisciplinary artist and award-winning digital creative who works at the intersection of art\, science\, technology\, and social impact. Leone’s artwork\, known for interrogating language and systems of meaning\, has been exhibited in North America\, South America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia and featured in the Whitney Biennial. Recent work includes her project on emergence with a team of UK-based scientists that blends cutting-edge research in information theory with experiential art. As an artist/entrepreneur\, Leone has directed more than a hundred projects across digital\, video\, animation\, and experiential. She has received numerous grants and awards and has taught and lectured widely. She received her BA in Semiotics and English and American Literature from Brown University; her BFA in Art from California Institute of the Arts; and attended the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in Studio Art. \n  \nAbout Daniel Bor \nDaniel Bor is a neuroscientist based at the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London. He received his BA in psychology and philosophy from Oxford University\, in 1997\, and his PhD in neuroscience from Cambridge University in 2002.

SUMMARY:DATA CITIZENS Lecture Series presents renowned Radiologist Dr. Eliot Siegel 11/10
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, November 10\, 2021\, 4:00-500 PM\, for a “Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series” talk featuring Dr. Eliot Siegel\, Professor and Vice Chair of Research Information Systems at the University of Maryland School of Medicine\, Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine\, and Chief of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine for the Veterans Affairs Maryland Health Care System\, both in Baltimore\, MD. \nTALK TITLE:   “AI and the Presumed Demise of Radiologists” \nParaphrasing Mark Twain’s famous quote\, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated\,” predictions made during the past half a dozen years about the demise of “Radiologist” as a profession have been made with alarming frequency.  Geoffrey Hinton\, one of the “fathers” of Deep Learning stated that “They should stop training Radiologists now.” Andrew Ng\, Professor of Computer Science at Stanford\, declared that it would be easier to replace a Radiologist than his personal assistant.  Ezekiel Emmanuel proclaimed in the New England Journal of Medicine that\, Radiologists\, as a profession\, could cease to exist in the next few years and that AI was the greatest threat to the practice.  A half a dozen years later\, it has become obvious that those predictions made by some of the most acclaimed “experts” in Computer Science and Medicine got it completely wrong.  This talk will explore the fascinating\, daunting\, and yet tantalizing challenges associated with the implementation of AI in clinical practice for Diagnostic Imaging and will discuss the hype\, reality\, and future of Deep Learning for Diagnostic Imaging. \nRegister Now  |  Wednesday\, 11/10 4:00-5:00 PM\nAbout Data Citizens \nData Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series is an ongoing course of in-depth talks by experts in the field of data science on a wide variety of topics including data visualization\, big data\, artificial intelligence\, and predictive analytics.  This lecture series is free and open to the public. \nAbout Eliot Siegel \nIDSC is pleased to welcome Dr. Siegel as a Distinguished Visiting Fellow for the group on AI for Radiology. \nDr. Siegel also has adjunct appointments at the undergraduate level at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)\, in the department of computer science and at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) in the department of biomedical engineering.  He teaches at the fellow\, resident\, medical student\, undergraduate and high school levels.  Dr. Siegel has been mentor/advisor and Ph.D. and Master’s thesis faculty for hundreds of students at all these levels during his career. \nAs Chief of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine for the Veterans Affairs Maryland Healthcare System\, Dr. Siegel is responsible for medical imaging within what is referred to as VISN 5\, which includes four medical centers in West Virginia and the Washington DC VA Medical Center\, as well as those in Maryland.  Dr. Siegel’s responsibilities at the local level include administration of the imaging department and\, his work as a clinical radiologist with a subspecialty in Nuclear Medicine.  At the regional level\, Dr. Siegel has responsibility for multiple VA hospitals\, and\, at the national level\, Dr. Siegel has been involved in policymaking in diagnostic imaging\, but more specifically in digital imaging and digital information systems. \nUnder his guidance\, the Baltimore VA became the first filmless healthcare enterprise in the world in 1993. He has written over 300 articles/book chapters about PACS and digital imaging and a wide variety of other topics in medical imaging\, and\, has edited numerous books on the topic\, including Filmless Radiology and Security Issues in the Digital Medical Enterprise.

SUMMARY:Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series presents Marjorie McShane
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, May 20\, as we welcome Marjorie McShane\, Associate Professor\, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Cognitive Science Department\, and Co-Director of the Language-Endowed Intelligent Agents (LEIA) Lab for a talk on artificial intelligence and language processing. \nData Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series is an ongoing course of in-depth talks by experts in the field of data science on a wide variety of topics including data visualization\, big data\, artificial intelligence\, and predictive analytics. \nRegister Now \nThursday\, May 20\, 2021  |  1:00-2:00 PM  \nTalk Title:  Toward Broad and Deep Language Understanding for Intelligent Systems \nAbstract:  The early vision of AI included the goal of endowing intelligent systems with human-like language processing capabilities. This proved harder than expected\, leading the vast majority of natural language processing practitioners to pursue less ambitious\, shorter-term goals. Whereas the utility of human-like language processing is unquestionable\, its feasibility is quite justifiably questioned. In this talk\, I will not only argue that some approximation of human-like language processing is possible\, but I will also present a program of R&D that is working on making it a reality. This vision and progress to date are described in the book Linguistics for the Age of AI (MIT Press\, 2021). \n  \nAbout Marjorie McShane:  Dr. McShane is a cognitive scientist\, computational linguist\, and knowledge engineer who develops cognitive models of intelligent agents that can collaborate with people in task-oriented\, dialog applications. She is particularly interested in the integration of functionalities that are often treated in isolation\, such as physiological stimulation\, emotion modeling\, and the many aspects of cognition. \nOne aspect of cognition to which she has devoted particular attention is natural language processing\, approached from a cross-linguistic perspective and with the goal of producing machine-tractable descriptions that can support sophisticated conversational agents. McShane was a central contributor to the Boas system\, a proof-of-concept system that elicited knowledge about any of the world’s languages from linguistically untrained native speakers. Boas used a mixed-initiative strategy\, by which the system guided certain aspects of the knowledge compilation process and the user took the lead in others. Among the key requirements were: that the system accommodates descriptions of not only anticipated but also unanticipated phenomena\, that the descriptions be sufficiently formal to directly provide support to a generic machine translation engine\, and that the system be usable by informants without the support of developers. \nMcShane has also worked extensively on cognitive modeling in the medical domain\, to support the configuration of intelligent agents playing the roles of virtual patients and tutors in training applications such as the Maryland Virtual Patient system. Guided by the functional needs of such agents\, McShane has recently begun to pursue the modeling of “mindreading” (otherwise known as mental model ascription)\, defined as inferring features of another human or artificial agent that cannot be directly observed\, such as that agent’s beliefs\, plans\, goals\, intentions\, personality traits\, mental and emotional states\, and knowledge about the world. This capability is an essential functionality of intelligent agents if they are to engage in sophisticated collaborations with people. \nMcShane has authored three books\, Linguistics for the Age of AI (co-authored with Sergei Nirenburg\, The MIT Press\, 2021)\, A Theory of Ellipsis (Oxford University Press\, 2005) and An Innovative\, Practical Approach to Polish Inflection (Lincom Europa\, 2003)\, and has published extensively in the areas of linguistics\, natural language processing\, cognitive modeling\, and knowledge representation. \nShe earned her PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from Princeton University\, and since then\, has been working on computational linguistics\, intelligent agent modeling\, and natural language processing.

SUMMARY:Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series presents Neilam Ram
DESCRIPTION:Data Citizens is a series of in-depth talks by experts in the field of data science on a wide variety of topics including data visualization\, big data\, artificial intelligence\, and predictive analytics.  Join us on Thursday\, May 6\, 2021 as we welcome Neilam Ram Professor of Psychology and Professor of Communication from Stanford University for a talk on ‘screenomics’. \nTALK TITLE: “Screenomics: A New Venue for Discovering the Dynamics of Digital Life” \nThursday\, 5/6 3:30-4:30 PM | REGISTER NOW  \n“We have recently developed and forwarded a new approach for capturing\, visualizing\, and analyzing the unique record of an individual’s everyday digital experiences—screenomics. In our quest to derive knowledge from and understand screenomes—ordered sequences of hundreds of thousands of smartphone and laptop screenshots obtained every five seconds for up to one year – the data have become a playground for learning about computational machinery used to processes images and text\, machine learning algorithms\, human-labeling of taxonomies\, qualitative inquiry\, and the tension between N = 1 and N = many approaches. Using a selection of empirical examples\, we illustrate how engagement with these new data is reshaping what we know about behavioral change in a wide variety of domains and how we study the person-context transactions that drive individuals’ digital lives.” \nProf. Nilam Ram studies the dynamic interplay between psychological and media processes and how they change from moment-to-moment and across the life span. \n  \nNilam’s research grows out of a history of studying change. After completing his undergraduate study of economics\, he worked as a currency trader\, frantically tracking and trying to predict the movement of world markets as they jerked up\, down\, and sideways. Later\, he moved on to the study of human movement\, kinesiology\, and eventually psychological processes—with a specialization in longitudinal research methodology. Generally\, Nilam studies how short-term changes (e.g.\, processes such as learning\, information processing\, emotion regulation\, etc.) develop across the life span\, and how longitudinal study designs contribute to the generation of new knowledge. Current projects include examinations of age-related change in children’s self- and emotion-regulation; patterns in minute-to-minute and day-to-day progression of adolescents’ and adults’ emotions; and change in contextual influences on well-being during old age. He is developing a variety of study paradigms that use recent developments in data science and the intensive data streams arriving from social media\, mobile sensors\, and smartphones to study change at multiple time scales. \n
