DESCRIPTION:For our next AI/ML workshop we will be joined by Dr Lei Clifto
 n\, Programme Director of the MSc in Applied Digital Health\, Primary Care
  Department\, Dr Joshua Fieggen\, DPhil candidate\, CHI Lab\, Department o
 f Engineering Science and Greg Simond\, DPhil student\, NDPH.\n\nTitle: Co
 mbining Machine Learning (ML) with Medical Statistics - A Worked Example\n
 When: Wednesday 24 June\nTime: 11:00 – 12:30\nVenue: OxPop Seminar room 
 0\n\n11:00 – 12:00 – Presentation and Q&A\n12:00 – 12:30 – Optiona
 l coding session to show pipeline work (Python)\n\nIn person only\n\nOverv
 iew: As larger biomedical datasets emerge\, it becomes increasingly challe
 nging to identify potentially relevant features using only conventional ap
 proaches. In this workshop we will demonstrate how one can combine machine
  learning (ML) with classical statistical models for disease predictions\,
  using worked examples on the UK Biobank.\n\nWho it’s for: Any researche
 r curious about combining AI and statistics. No coding required for the pr
 esentation. An optional coding session after presentation to show how we h
 ave implemented this approach in our published papers.\n\nBios:\nLei Clift
 on: Programme Director of the MSc in Applied Digital Health\, Primary Care
  Department. Lei has 20+ years of experience at the intersection of medica
 l statistics and AI. As Programme Director of the MSc in Applied Digital H
 ealth\, she specialises in foundation models and large language models for
  healthcare\, bringing expertise from engineering\, machine learning\, and
  medical statistics.\n\nJoshua Fieggen: DPhil candidate\, Computational He
 alth Informatics (CHI) Lab. Josh is a medical doctor\, and DPhil candidate
  from the CHI Lab in the Engineering Department. He has an MPH in Epidemio
 logy and Biostatistics and his DPhil has focused on applications of ML and
  generative deep learning to the plasma proteomics data in UK Biobank.\n\n
 Gregory Simond: MD-DPhil candidate in Cancer Science\, conducting his doct
 oral research in the UK Biobank group at the Big Data Institute. His resea
 rch focuses on developing multi-modal machine learning approaches to impro
 ve early cancer detection and risk prediction in the general population.\n
