Accessible Artificial Intelligence for Cancer Research
DCEG Events
Artificial intelligence (AI) has finally emerged as a useful tool for big data analytics. This is due to decades of research that have provided powerful algorithms and the availability of plentiful computing resources. Despite these advances, AI is not widely accessible due to a steep learning curve and the expense and black-box nature of software provided by commercial vendors such as IBM.

Development of an International Prostate Cancer Risk Tool Integrating Data from Multiple Heterogeneous Cohorts - Dr. Donna Ankerst
DCEG Events
The Prostate Biopsy Collaborative Group (PBCG) collects prostate cancer risk factors and biopsy outcomes from multiple international centers with the objective to improve biopsy decision-making. The authors recently developed a global risk prediction model for outcomes on prostate biopsy, and posted it online for worldwide use. Construction of the logistic regression model required integrating data from 8492 biopsies from ten diverse centers across North America and Europe.
