MIT

David Sontag

Led by David Sontag, the Clinical Machine Learning Group is interested in advancing machine learning and artificial intelligence, and using these techniques to advance health care.

Broadly, we have two goals:

Clinical: To truly make a difference in health care, we need to create algorithms that are useful for solving real clinical problems.

Machine learning: We need rigorous solutions, which can pave the way for safe deployment of machine learning in high-stakes settings like healthcare.

Our lab is broadly interested in advancing machine learning and artificial intelligence, and using these to transform health care. Here we explain our three broad focus areas as well as representative papers. For more papers, see our publications section.

Clinical Prediction
These are exciting times for the practice of medicine. The rapid adoption of electronic health records has created a wealth of new data about patients, which is a goldmine for improving our understanding of human health. Our lab develops algorithms that use this data to make better clinical predictions in areas like antibiotic resistance, multiple myeloma, Parkinson’s disease, and other chronic illnesses. In addition, we are concerned with efforts around fairness and interpretability to ensure accurate, useful, and equitable clinical predictions.

Probabilistic and Causal Inference
Probabilistic inference is one of the cornerstones of machine learning. Whether for parameter inference at training time or answering queries at test time, we build new inference algorithms for inference in undirected and directed graphical models along with tools to analyze their efficacy. We work on probabilistic inference in deep generative models by developing new inference networks that learn to amortize approximate variational inference. In many instances, the quantity of interest within a Bayesian network is of a causal nature. To that end, our lab develops novel methods for answering causal queries that work effectively with high-dimensional data.

Medical Knowledge and Extraction
Today’s electronic health records are predominately a place for recording a patient’s health data. We aim to develop the foundation for the next-generation of intelligent electronic health records, where machine learning and artificial intelligence is built-in to help with medical diagnosis, automatically trigger clinical decision support, personalize treatment suggestions, autonomously retrieve relevant past medical history, make documentation faster and higher quality, and predict adverse events before they happen. A major challenge is the need for robust machine learning algorithms that are safe, interpretable, can learn from little labeled training data, understand natural language, and generalize well across medical settings and institutions.

After four years it includes hubs in Geneva, New York, Vienna, Nairobi, The Hague, and most recently Paris, and counts 300+ Champion heads of organizations including the Secretary General of the UN, heads of the UNHCR, ICRC, IOM, IFRC, WTO, ILO, WHO, WIPO, ISO, ITU, Ambassadors, and Civil Society. As IGC Board Member she is also responsible for IGC’s Trade Impact Group (Buenos Aires Declaration on Trade and Women’s Economic Empowerment, 2017); Disarmament Impact Group (nominated for Arms Control Person/s of the Year, 2018); Standards Impact Group (Gender Responsive Standards Declaration, 2019); International Justice Impact Group (The Hague Principles on Sexual Violence, 2019).

Caitlin also founded and co-leads the new < A+ > Alliance for Inclusive Algorithms with Ciudadania Inteligente, a global coalition of technologists, activists and academics who focus on affirmative action for algorithms and creating gender equality, so that machine learning does not embed an already biased system into our future.

As founding Director of the interdisciplinary Data Science program here at WPI, I take great pleasure in doing all in my power to support the Data Science community in all its facets from research collaborations, new educational initiatives to our innovative Graduate Qualifying projects at the graduate level.

Having served as primary advisor and mentor of over 35 PhD students who have secured successful professional careers in computing, I'm proud of all the great accomplishments of students I have had the opportunity to collaborate with. With an h-index of 55, I have authored well over 400 publications, numerous patents, and software systems released to public domain. My research work, widely cited, has been supported by government agencies including NSF, NIH, DOE, FDA, and DARPA, and by industry including HP, IBM, Verizon Labs, GTE, NEC, AMADEUS, Charles River Analytics, and by labs such as MITRE Corporation. I've enjoyed holding leadership positions in the big data field, including having served as Associate Editor of prestigious journals including IEEE Transactions on Data and Knowledge Engineering and VLDB Journal and as area chair on premiere professional big data conferences, including ACM SIGMOD, VLDB, IEEE ICDE, and others.

My research focuses on how to make use of data and information in an effective manner, towards achieving goals in business, scientific discovery, and digital health. With the inter-connectivity of the internet, the availability of computing power, and big data everywhere, access to the right piece of information at the right moment, possibly fused together from numerous information sources, remains one of the most critical capabilities that can set you apart from others. Together with undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, and other faculty, I strive to develop big data, machine learning and data visualization technologies to discover and explore important nuggets and patterns in massive data sets in real-time in applications from fraud detection, digital health, emergency management, business intelligence, to event analytics.

I love every moment working with students and colleagues at WPI and in industry on cutting-edge data science research and project activities. At the undergraduate level, I work with students both on MQP and IQP projects focused on computer science and data science research challenges often in collaboration with companies and other organizations.

VP of Data Science, ConcertAI

Judith Mueller

“We are pleased to welcome Judith to the ConcertAI leadership team and know that her deep knowledge and leadership in data science will accelerate our innovations in Precision Oncology and Patient Solutions across an array of new AI technology product initiatives,” said Jeff Elton, PhD and CEO of ConcertAI.

Judith was recently at GNS Healthcare as Senior Director of Research and Data Science where she led a number of data science teams that applied machine learning methods to complex data sets in healthcare and life sciences, for oncology and other therapeutic areas. Prior to GNS Healthcare, Judith led research in computational macromolecular modeling in the life sciences industry and developed methodologies for technology assessment and parametric yield improvements in the high-tech industry. Judith obtained her PhD from McGill University, Montreal, in physics, and MS in physics from the RWTH in Aachen, Germany.

“I am a passionate computational physicist who thrives on challenges,” said Judith. “I’m excited to be joining the healthcare industry’s leader for AI-powered real-world evidence solutions and look forward to working closely with our partners and customers to advance even more exciting and high–value AI technologies.”
