The graph model easily captures data relationships that most data models fail to capture, along with enabling data aggregation from various heterogeneous data assets. This keynote presents Oracle's take on Graph and ML advances along with our journey through industry macro-trends and micro-trends. We also provide practical use cases and business problems that we are solving in healthcare and cyber-security using graph data and ML models and discuss our vision for future enterprise grade data analysis platformsHassan Chafi10:40 amReimagining medicine at Novartis with the help of AIWe are witnessing a rapid evolution of the healthcare ecosystem boosted by new technologies to better quantify health and bring data driven insights into clinical and pharmaceutical decision making.Nicholas Kelley, Valeria De Luca11:10 amLate fusion of multi-magnification histopathological breast cancer images using deep learningBreast Cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy and the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide.Fatima-Zahrae Nakach11:50 amPanning for insights in medicine and beyond: New frontiers in machine learning interpretabilityIn this keynote, I describe an extensive new framework for ML interpretability which enables us to turn black-box machine learning methods into white boxes.Mihaela van der Schaar12:20 pmUsing Big Data to drive Health OutcomesWith the widespread adoption of mobile phones, low-cost computing and internet access, significant progress has been made in the digitisation of healthcare systems in emerging markets.Olorunfemi Situ-Amoo12:40 pmLeveraging data from engaged users to improve maternal and prenatal health using medical grade wearablesIn this talk we will show how our data driven approach helps to shed light on poorly understood links between physiological changes and pregnancy outcomes.Stephen Tashobya2:00 pmMachine Learning for Scientific DiscoveryMachine learning research is expanding its reach, beyond the traditional realm of tech industry and into the activities of other scientists, opening the door to truly transformative advances in these disciplines.Yoshua Bengio2:30 pmAntipatterns in machine learning in healthcareThis talk aims to discuss issues and common pitfalls during the lifecycle of research projects in the field of machine learning in healthcare.Sneha Jha2:50 pmEnzeptional: enzyme optimization via a generative language modeling-based evolutionary algorithmEnzymes present remarkable characteristics to enable more sustainable reactions.Yves Gaetan Nana Teukam3:10 pmLand boundary delineation using u-netsLand delineation is a particular example of a segmentation problem.Theophilus Aidoo3:30 pmMachine Learning approaches for cross-continent transfer of Remote Sensing models for AfricaAvailable Remote Sensing datasets are unequally distributed.Joana Reuss3:50 pmImproved water resource management framework using remote Sensing data and machine learning methodsThe introduction presents the context of water scarcity in Morocco and the problem of our thesis.Elhousna Faouzi4:10 pmKeynote: Ghita MezzourGhita Mezzour5:00 pmBuilding Trustworthy Machine Learning SystemsBuilding Trustworthy Machine Learning Systems is a critical aspect of the field.Foutse Khomh5:30 pmCan Natural Language Modeling be democratized?Up to now, Masked Language Model (MLM) framework has been widely adopted for self-supervised language pre-training using large-scale general corpus.Abderrahman Skiredj5:50 pmTransfer Learning from Modern Standard Arabic to Dialectal ArabicWith the widespread adoption of natural language processing (NLP) systems through chatbots, writing assistance, and translation.Abdellah El Mekki6:10 pmBuilding language models, one story at a timeOne-third of the world's languages are spoken in Africa, but less than 1% of African languages are represented online.Bakary Diarrassouba6:30 pmSpeech Improvement Framework using LSTM Neural Network and Dynamic Time WarpingIn healthcare, speech recognition is a dominant application of deep learning algorithms.Lawrence NderuSpeakersWalid DaouElena SinelLucilla Siolijhon doe9Colleen M.
