2019 Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group (IMAG) Multiscale Modeling (MSM) Consortium Meeting (Day 1)
The Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group (IMAG) organizes this grantee meeting annually to discuss important and focused issues concerning multiscale modeling (MSM) Consortium. The conference is designed to include a balance of sessions in which participants bring to bear their expertise to define the problems, define solutions and report back on progress with mutual accountability (e.g. through the Model Credibility Session exercises). The format of the agenda will have a mixture of podium talks, panel discussions, interactive online audience participation, poster sessions, and focused breakout sessions – dependent o...

NLM Informatics and Data Science: From Data to Decisions: Large-Scale Causal Inference in Biomedicine
NLM Informatics and Data Science Lecture Series
The collection of massive observational datasets has led to unprecedented opportunities for causal inference, such as using electronic health records to identify risk factors for disease. However, our ability to understand these complex data sets has not grown at the same pace as our ability to collect them. While causal inference has traditionally focused on pair-wise relationships between variables, biological systems are highly complex and knowing when events may happen is often as important as knowing whether they will. Motivated by the analysis of intensive care unit dat...

Knowledge Discovery in Clinical and Biomedical Data: Case Studies in Pediatrics and Mental Health
With the widespread adoption of electronic health records and increasing discoveries reported in biomedical literature, computational approaches are needed for further knowledge discovery and hypothesis generation. Challenges include the capture of key information within text and standardization issues, requiring use of natural language processing and data integration techniques. Clinical data mining and biomedical literature mining have been used in a range of contexts to discover disease knowledge such as comorbidities and patterns related to social, behavioral, and familial (SBF) factors. In this lecture, a series of ca...
