About the event:

The healthcare sector has witnessed largescale technological change in recent years, including in the area of data analysis. The digitalisation of health records has opened the door for the application of advanced analytical techniques, leading to improved decision-making and patient outcomes. However, these innovate approaches have introduced new challenges, particularly around how the methods are implemented in practice and how their outputs are explained to users.

This event, hosted by the RSS South Wales Local Group, consists of three talks on a variety of subjects, and brings together speakers from academia, the public sector, and commercial research. There will be an opportunity for networking between and following the talks, and light refreshments will be provided.

Speakers: 

Professor Alexander Balinsky, Cardiff University School of Mathematics
Mathematics of Deep Learning

Dr Tracey England, Aneurin Bevan Continuous Improvement (ABCi) Modelling Unit
