We’re pleased to be able to introduce Zhaoqian (Joshua) Su as a new DSI Postdoctoral Fellow! Joshua comes to us from the Einstein College of Medicine where as a Postdoctoral Fellow he applied deep learning to problems related to the formation protein structures such as peptide… Read More

Interested in biomedicine, protein folding, protein dynamics, biological function, or spectroscopy? Want to learn more about the intersection of these topics with artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), computation, and data science? This may be the opportunity for you! The Mchaourab Lab investigates mechanisms of protein folding, and currently… Read More

About Dr. Phil Lieberman, Jewish Studies Research Context 1 The Torah was originally transcribed in Medieval times, where medieval scholars transcribed the consonants. This could produce ambiguity; consider the New York Times – if you read the words “sh rd ths”… Read More

About Clinical notes and other free-text documents provide a breadth of clinical information that is not often available within structured data. Transformer-based natural language processing (NLP) models, such as BERT, have demonstrated great promise to improve clinical text processing. However, these models are commonly trained on generic corpora,… Read More

About The goal of this project is to employ deep learning on paired EEG-MRI data in order to make MRI predictions based on EEG alone. The project currently has ~40 subjects with paired MRI-EEG data (collected separately but with the same task design), which will grow… Read More

About The Education and Brain Science Research Lab is beginning the Student Teacher Interaction Analytic (STiA) project to determine the relationship between executive function language used by teachers during reading instruction and reading outcomes. Executive function (EF) is a set of cognitive controls that support us in planning,… Read More

Looking to work with training transformers for revolutionizing learning engagement in the humanities? Read on to learn more about a novel application by Dr. Ole Molvig – assistant professor of History and founder of the Emergent Technology Lab at the Wond’ry! About Another project by Dr. Molvig for increasing… Read More

Current Project: Using automatic speech recognition to transcribe audio files from patients with depression to determine efficacy of therapy. Before and after outcomes will be assessed using telephone audio files where participants were called and asked what they were “thinking” at the moments just before the call. These audio files… Read More

Our team is interested in developing natural language processing (NLP) systems using transformers to classify whether patients have drug-related adverse events from patients’ clinical notes in Vanderbilt University Medical Center electronic health records (EHRs), which could be potentially associated with a specific drug of interest. The Initial approach to this… Read More

Clinical notes and other free-text documents provide a breadth of clinical information that is not often available within structured data. Transformer-based natural language processing (NLP) models, such as BERT, have demonstrated great promise in using transfer learning to  improve clinical text processing. However, these models are commonly trained on generic corpora, which do not necessarily reflect many… Read More
