***We are currently setting up the lab and are keen to speak to potential postdoctoral researchers, software engineers and Ph.D. students. Please contact Dr. Abeed Sarker via email (abeed@dbmi.emory.edu). We have some exciting projects involving big natural language data in the pipeline.***
Research Objectives
Build portable, customizable and interpretable systems for medical free text processing.
Develop end-to-end solutions for medical and public health problems of high significance.
Create and share text mining, machine learning, natural language processing and artificial intelligence solutions.
Focus Areas
We strive to design and build natural language processing and machine learning frameworks that are portable across medical and public health problems. We put particular attention to ensuring that technological innovations in data science, NLP, machine learning and artificial intelligence comply to the specific needs of the medical domain. These needs include, but are not limited to, interpretability, simplicity, reliability and timeliness. The following are some of our current specific focus areas.
