AI Health Virtual Seminar Series:
Introduction to Basic Concepts in Machine Learning |
Tuesday, Sept. 10 | 12 – 1pm
Presented by
Ricardo Henao, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics and Director of Clinical Trials AI, Duke Clinical Research Institute
Dr. Ricardo Henao will introduce the basic concepts of machine learning with a focus on intuition and examples. The simpler and widely used logistic regression model will be introduced first, and from this, the multilayered neural network will be introduced as a generalization. Concepts of parameter learning (optimization), generalization (and overfitting), validation and performance evaluation will also be introduced. Read more about the event.
Zoom event. Registration required.

AI Health Virtual Seminar:
From Silos to Insights: A Data Strategy for Integrating Clinical Registries |
Thursday, Sept. 26 | 12 – 1pm
Presented by:
Anthony Sorrentino, MD, Clinical Informatics Fellow at Duke University Health System and Primary Care Physician at Duke Primary Care Riverview
Real world data, such as that from medical claims, the electronic health record (EHR), or clinical registries, are becoming increasingly important in quality improvement and research. Of these, clinical registries are unique in containing clinical outcomes data that are manually abstracted from the unstructured portions of the EHR by trained registrars or clinicians. However, use of clinical registry data is limited by idiosyncrasies in data storage, access, and governance – resulting in siloed datasets that are cut off from the broader health data landscape.
Our work aims to unlock the potential of patient registries by creating a pilot data mart that links several of Duke’s clinical registries with existing EHR data. Read more about the event.
Zoom event. Registration required.
