Presenting the Turing Fellow Research Projects

In partnership with The Alan Turing Institute, the University of Southampton invites you to watch Turing Fellows Ben MacArthur, Neil White, and Paolo Missier (Newcastle University) present the research and findings of their Pilot Projects.

10:30-10:35 - Introduction by Peter Smith, Turing University Lead
10:35-11:00 - Presentation by Ben MacArthur, University of Southampton: Mapping biology from mouse to human using transfer learning.
In this talk Ben MacArthur will outline how tools from machine learning can be combined with experiments to better understand how biology can be mapped between species and thereby improve the biomedical research and development pipeline. As an example, he will show how transfer learning can be used to determine when biology learnt from one organism (the mouse) can be effectively transferred be to another (the human) and when it cannot.
11:00-11:25 - Presentation by Neil White, University of Southampton: Decision support algorithms for Emergency Departments.
In this talk, Neil White and Chris Duckworth will describe the outcomes of the TriagED project. Emergency departments (EDs) are facing unprecedented levels of overcrowding, which delays and impacts patient care. By analysing data collected from EDs, we can use machine learning models to predict patient outcomes (e.g. whether a patient was discharged or admitted to hospital).
11:25-11:50 - Presentation by Paolo Missier, Newcastle University: 4P Healthcare
Our project at Newcastle University sets out to investigate how self-monitoring using wearable devices may help detect the early onset of metabolic diseases, potentially leading to early interventions to benefit both individuals and the health care system. Focusing on Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and on wrist-worn accelerometery traces of physical activity, in this talk we will cover two angles of this research.
11:50-12:00 - Closing remarks by Peter Smith
