There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract: This talk will provide an introduction to concepts and methods for learning causal relationships in the form of causal networks from biomedical and clinical data, including solely observational data. Examples will be given of applying these methods to biomedical data. The talk will also provide pointers to software for learning causal networks from data, including data containing thousands of variables.
Bio: Gregory Cooper, M.D., Ph.D. is Professor of Biomedical Informatics and of Intelligent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh. His research focuses on the application of probabilistic modeling, machine learning, Bayesian statistics, and artificial intelligence to address biomedical informatics problems. Current research projects include causal modeling and discovery of biomedical knowledge from large datasets, learning electronic medical record systems, machine-learning-based clinical alerting, computer-aided medical diagnosis and prediction, and methods for detecting and characterizing infectious disease outbreaks.
