MIT Watson AI Lab, Cambridge, MA

On Friday April 27th, MIT and IBM Research will co-host the 2nd North East Computational Health Summit. The theme of this year’s summit is AI in Healthcare, with the objective of bringing together machine learning, medical informatics and computational health professionals to share latest developments and explore potential collaborations to unlock the potential of Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare.

We will also feature an interactive panel, as well as submitted papers and posters on various aspects of computational health including deep learning, observational studies, predictive modelling, translational informatics, patient engagement, explanatory models, health behavior and digital health. There will also be ample opportunities for less formal interactions at lunch-time, and well as during the poster session and breaks.

Call For Participation

We invite submissions of abstracts describing all aspects of research relating to design and implementation of AI solutions in healthcare. This encompasses relevant tasks in data mining, data analytics, data science, natural language processing and machine learning as well as explanatory models. The primary emphasis is on advances in the science and application of AI in healthcare. Submitted abstracts will go through a peer review process and will be selected for either podium or poster presentations by the review committee. Some poster presentations will also be selected for a short oral spotlight presentation prior to the poster session.

Submissions

Submissions are limited to a total of 1 page, including all content and references. Submission can be made via an EasyChair submission.

Key Dates

  • Abstracts due: Abstract submission is now closed.
  • Notification to Submitters: 03/26/2018.
  • Meeting Date: 04/27/2018

Attendance

For each accepted paper or poster, at least one author must attend the conference and present the paper/poster. There will be no official publication of papers, however, podium presentations will be video-taped and presenters will be asked to sign a release form to allow the videos to be made available on the conference web site.

While we are seeking to showcase new work, our summit does allow submission of papers that are under review or have been recently published in a conference or a journal.
