Big Data Science And Engineering

Vanderbilt University engineering and education faculty are part of a new $20 million, NSF-funded research institute to create artificial intelligence tools to radically improve education, re-imagining learning inside and outside of the classroom. The NSF AI Institute for Engaged Learning is one of 11 new AI institutes announced in July… Read More

BIG DATA SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING  One project aims to set the stage for global monitoring of the biome for the early detection of pathogens and prevention of potential pandemics. A second project targets creation of a standardized platform that will streamline the development, testing and dissemination of technology to… Read More

Novel association toolkit available online With the ability to more easily find co-occurring conditions, Vanderbilt researchers already have identified some conditions that appear prior to a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. They parsed the data to look at the medical histories of children less than two years old who… Read More

The Novel Finding Index assigns well-known disease associations a low ranking, as shown above with Alzheimer’s Disease. A new Vanderbilt-developed big data tool reveals novel associations between chronic diseases and lesser-known conditions that may help detect disease earlier and identify new research paths. Using machine learning, anonymized electronic medical records,… Read More
