Pre-symposium courses
Artificial Intelligence (17/3/2025)
Location: Rue Ravenstein 2 - Square - Brussels Meeting Center
Chairperson(s): Azra Bihorac & Leo A Celi
Date(s): 17/3/2025
Price per participant: 400 Eur
| Artificial Intelligence |
Monday, March 17, 2025
Chairpersons: Azra Bihorac (Gainesville, USA) & Leo Anthony Celi (Cambridge, USA)
8.30-8.45 |
Welcome & Overview of the Course Azra Bihorac (Gainesville, USA), Leo Anthony Celi (Cambridge, USA) |
8.45-9.30 |
Foundational Issues in Artificial Intelligence for Health Azra Bihorac (Gainesville, USA), Leo Anthony Celi (Cambridge, USA), Ari Ercole (Cambridge, UK) |
9.30-10.30 |
Introduction to Machine Learning This is a primer on machine learning concepts including but not limited to cross-validation, data leakage, benchmarks, performance metrics, and fairness evaluation. Publicly available high-resolution ICU datasets (not registries) will be introduced: MIMIC (US), eICU-CRD (US), AmsterdamUMCdb (Netherlands), HiRID (Switzerland), SICdb (Austria). Xavi Borrat (Barcelona, Spain), Matthieu Komorowski (London, UK), Dominic Marshall (London, UK), Inés Martin (Leuven, Belgium) |
10.30-10.45 |
BREAK |
10.45-11.45 |
Data Artifacts and their Effect on Machine Learning The exercise is designed to address and mitigate biases in artificial intelligence systems. This workshop will leverage interdisciplinarity to identify, understand, and develop strategies to understand biases in clinical AI datasets. Participants will engage in hands-on sessions where they explore various types of biases, such as measurement bias, and variation in the degree of monitoring from social determinants of care, and their impact on AI performance. Jeremy Balch (Gainesville, USA), João Matos (Porto, Portugal), Mackenzie Meni (Gainesville, USA) |
11.45-12.45 |
Reimagine-athon: The Doctor in the Age of Health Technicians and AI Increasingly, procedures once performed by doctors (e.g., anesthesia, ICU interventions) are being (and better) performed by advanced practice providers. Although hallucinations are still fairly common with generative AI, the ability to diagnose and provide treatment recommendations is anticipated to rapidly improve. If doctors are no longer the most qualified in performing procedures, synthesizing data and providing differential diagnoses, therapeutic plan and prognostications, what would (and should) be the role of doctors in this day and age? All hands on deck. |
12.45-13.30 |
LUNCH |
13.30-14.30 |
Primer on Large Language Models The hour focuses on enhancing the effectiveness and reducing the bias of large language models. This workshop is designed for clinicians who are already or who are thinking of using these tools for summarizing patient course, drafting content for progress notes and letters to other providers and to the patients, and soliciting differential diagnoses, treatment recommendations and prognostication. Participants will be introduced to various prompt engineering techniques that can leverage the power of this technology. Through collaborative exercises, attendees will experiment with different types of prompts, analyze the outputs, and refine their strategies to achieve better results. The event will also include discussions on the challenges of prompt design, such as avoiding ambiguity and ensuring context-appropriateness. Sharon Einav (Tel Aviv, Israel), Vitaly Herasevich (Rochester, USA), David Restrepo (Paris, France) |
14.30-15.00 |
BREAK |
15.00-16.00 |
Policy Workshop The Policy Workshop is organized to explore the regulatory and ethical frameworks surrounding the use of AI technologies. Sessions will cover a range of topics, including transparency and accountability, power structures and the political economy that drives the impact of AI. Participants will engage in brainstorming and dialogue and propose solutions to complex policy issues. The goal is to engender a systems thinking mindset among developers and users of AI to improve population health. Leo Anthony Celi (Cambridge, USA), Massimiliano Greco (Milan, Italy), Mary Lough (Stanford, USA), Lama Nazer (Amman, Jordan) |
