Marty was the recipient of the Australian Institute of Management’s Young Manager of the Year Award in December 2011.

Topic: 

Big Data Fusion for Mining e-Health Data (Xue Li)

In medical research and healthcare, there are many large data sets which are related to each other in terms of the clinical trials, medical research publications, Electronic Health Records (HER), annual health check-up records, and patient bed-side monitoring data. In this talk, we discuss our case studies and experiments on how we can connect the relevant medical and health data sets together to rank the most influential treatments for diseases, to predict the health states for ageing individuals, or to predict the risks of hospital patients.  A graph-based data fusion approach will be introduced to represent the different types of relationships among data items and learn from data for predictions.

Biography:

Dr Xue Li is a Professor in DKE (Data and Knowledge Engineering) Division, School of Information Technology, the University of Queensland in Australia. He obtained a BSc in Computer Science in Chongqing University, China in 1982, a MSc in the University of Queensland in 1989, and a PhD in Information Systems in QUT 1997. His research interests are in data mining, intelligent information systems, and social computing. He has over 160 publications as monograph, edited books, book chapters, and journal and conference papers.  He led his research team won prizes awarded by Google, Microsoft, International conferences, and the Australian Government in recent years. He is recognized as one of the Top-50 “Most Powerful People in Australia” in 2015 by Australian Financial Review.
