Machine Learning Models Have People Skills
I like seeing patterns across domains. Consider machine learning models and employees. Both models and people can be appraised. What is an employee appraisal? Employee “performance appraisal has three basic functions: (1) to provide adequate feedback to each person on his or her performance; (2) to serve as a basis for modifying or changing behavior […]
Clinical Data Review Platforms in Life Sciences (CDRP)
My last blog discussed how AI assists to create human-computer systems. This next blog in the series analyzes clinical data review platforms. While machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) functionalities are not currently available in today’s clinical data review platforms (CDRP’s), we know they offer tremendous benefits to the clinical data review and […]
AI Creates a Human-Computer System in Life Sciences
Previously, I discussed artificial intelligence (AI) enhancing clinical data review processes. This blog discusses how AI assists to create a human-computer system. Humans and machines each have their own strengths. On the one hand, machines are good at processing and analyzing large volumes of data with high speed and accuracy. On the other hand, humans […]
How AI Can Enhance the Clinical Data Review and Cleaning Process
Ensuring that clinical trial data is accurate and that clinical trials are safe and effective, is a time-consuming and a manually intensive process. Many life sciences companies have implemented home-grown or off-the-shelf clinical data review platforms and defined the reviewing and cleaning processes to be used with them. Many of these systems have proven to […]
The Importance of Reinforcement Learning
A few years ago, BBC Earth highlighted a memory test performed by a Chimpanzee named Ayumu. The Chimp displayed traits of machine learning (ML) when it was shown the numbers 1 to 9 in a randomized order on a screen and able to correctly remember the sequence when the numbers disappeared almost 90% of the […]
