Prof. Bonifati will present her latest results on enhancing the quality of querying and inference processes on healthcare data. She and her team operate on real-life data of patients from a French hospital and provide the domain experts with useful data management and learning techniques that can help them with their diagnoses and analyses. In the lecture, she will mainly focus on two techniques. The first technique allows us to add inconsistency annotations to structured data and queries, while the second technique allows us to identify similarities among long time series corresponding to patients’ signals. In both cases, their research aims at providing the caregivers with a better understanding of their clinical data thanks to the improved outcomes of the performed analytics.
