AI+ML for rapid detection of bacterial infection to reduce hospital-acquired infections and prevent septic shock and heart attack
The antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) is essential in the clinical diagnosis of serious bacterial infections such as sepsis, but it typically takes 2–5 days for sample culture, antibiotic treatment, and result reading. Detecting metabolites secreted from bacteria with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and using robust ML+AI algorithms will enable the identification of the “fingerprint” spectra […]
Data-centric AI
Data-centric AI is emerging as a discipline of “systematically engineering the data” for AI. The goal is to make it easier for practitioners to understand, program and iterate on datasets, instead of spending time on models. In this project, we will focus on the effect of “bad data” on different ML/DL pipelines and what can […]

AI AND DATA SCIENCE FOR COVID-19
Introduction The unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by a parallel tsunami of data and information related to the disease, its spread and global impact. Phrases and words like “social distancing”, “asymptomatic vs. symptomatic”, “pool testing”, “flattening of the curve”, “drug repurposing” and “lockdowns” have become part of our daily lexicon. The speed […]
