Screening for diseases is an important, and extensively used, public health tool; early detection can improve clinical outcomes and/or reduce the spread of infectious diseases, especially for diseases that have slow to develop and/or initially non-specific symptoms (e.g., AIDS, Zika, hepatitis). A major challenge in public health screening is to design screening policies that are capable of accurately classifying subjects in a large population with limited resources and imperfect tests.

Take advantage of this on-campus opportunity to learn, network and foster research partnerships with technology innovators, leading researchers, government experts and entrepreneurs. Panel presentations will explore the implications of disruptive emerging technologies within the existing energy distribution network and the role of adaptive new policies and regulations. Delve into alternative approaches to financing small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) and consider what determines success or failure in a new business model.

In this talk, I’ll speak about those three features of automated analytics and their link to trust in the context of project examples, both successes and failures.
