Health Care Applications with Natural Language Processing

Room: CSF-1302, Bldg: Core Science Facility , 45 Arctic Avenue, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Abstract: Unstructured documents often come with embedded structured data. Representing valuable and structured information as tables is popular in health, financial, and many domains. However, manual extraction of structured information from documents typically costs tremendous time and labor, motivating the need for a system for automating the process. After such tables have been extracted, the data can be used for a wide variety of tasks such as question answering and various “down-stream” analytics tasks. In this talk, we will discuss how to leverage ground-breaking pre-trained language models (e.g., BERT, ChatGPT) to develop tools for automated table extraction from various types of documents. We will present different applications from cancer registry reporting, cancer care, and psychiatry hospitalization <a href="http://prediction.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="prediction.Speaker(s):">prediction.Speaker(s): Raymond NgRoom: CSF-1302, Bldg: Core Science Facility , 45 Arctic Avenue, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

MOQtail: A Little Bit Live, a Little Bit On Demand, a Whole Lotta QUIC

Room: ER1071, Bldg: Concordia University, 2155 Guy Street, Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering (CSSE), MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada, H3G 1M8

Abstract :MOQ is currently being standardized by the IETF as a low-latency transport for live media, optimized for real-time publishing, in-network caching, and scalable delivery. This presentation will analyze MOQ's core features, including its efficient multiplexing and low-latency capabilities, derived from QUIC. We will discuss its impact on media delivery, focusing on enhanced reliability and performance for demanding, large-scale applications, demonstrating its role in future media <a href="http://ecosystems.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="ecosystems.Co-sponsored">ecosystems.Co-sponsored by: Prof. Abdelhak BentalebSpeaker(s): Dr. Ali C.
