Use of Bayesian Non-Parametrics for Problems in Causal Inference - Dr. Mike Daniels

DCEG Events

The authors propose a general Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) approach to causal inference in the point treatment setting. The joint distribution of the observed data (outcome, treatment, and confounders) is modeled using an enriched Dirichlet process. The combination of the observed data model and causal assumptions allows us to identify any type of causal effect - differences, ratios, or quantile effects, either marginally or for subpopulations of interest.

The Future of Low-Dose Radiation Research in the United States

DCEG Events

The symposium will provide an open forum for a national discussion on the value of a long-term strategy to guide low-dose radiation research in the United States and the pros and cons of different options for organizing such research.

Tumor Genomes Shed Light into Somatic Mutational Processes and Cancer Vulnerabilities - Dr. Nuria Lopez-Bigas

DCEG Events

Somatic mutations are the driving force of cancer genome evolution.

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.
