Abstract:
NHS NSS is a specialist health board, providing services to the other health boards and across the public sector. Within NSS, the Business Intelligence (and more specifically, the Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence) provide assistance, expertise, and a technology platform to support projects with an AI component. In this talk, I will introduce NSS BI (including our Seer platform), and discuss some of the work that we are undertaking, including work on the new version of the SPARRA model (predicting admission / re-admission for individuals in Scotland), work on how to safely export trained models from safe-haven environments, and some ongoing work on fairness / inequalities.
Biography:
Dr Simon Rogers is an AI data scientist at NHS National Services Scotland and Honorary Lecturer in Computer Science at University of Glasgow. His research involves the development of Machine Learning and Statistical techniques to help with the analysis of complex datasets. Among his long publication list he has also published a textbook on 'A First Course in Machine Learning', which is an introduction to modern (fairly probabilistic) Machine Learning.
