Towards AI for Healthcare with Applications to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Sanmi Koyejo, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

With the emergence of public healthcare crises such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is increasingly evident that AI is among the most powerful tools for addressing early detection of diseases, triage, treatment planning, and patient management, among many other pressing healthcare problems. What will it take to build effective machine learning systems for healthcare? This talk will outline our research progress towards answering this question. To this end, I will present emerging technical advances in federated learning, modeling, evaluation, privacy, and trustworthiness. I will also outline how we are bringing these tools to bear to aid in analyzing medical images from COVID-19 patients.
