Abstract:
The recent years have witnessed a surge of interests on mining evidence from electronic health records (EHR) to facilitate various tasks ranging from drug development to policy making. There are many challenges for analyzing EHRs such as complex confounding and population heterogeneity. In this talk, I will introduce several recent research from my lab on addressing these challenges in different disease contexts, and point out potential future directions.
