TITLE: Artificial Intelligence Methods for Understanding Complex Brain Disorders
ABSTRACT:
Brain disorders include disabilities that stem from brain dysfunction, including neurological (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, epilepsy and seizures, etc.), sleep disorders, and mental health disorders (depression, anxiety, etc.). Brain disorders interfere with activities of daily living and worsen quality of life, and are often associated with social stigma. However, many disorders can be effectively managed if diagnosed early, leading to better clinical and social outcomes. Therefore, early diagnosis, accurate prognosis, and optimal therapeutic decision making are crucial in achieving better quality of life for a person and lowering healthcare burden for a society.
In this roundtable, we will focus on highlighting applications and cases that make use of data and appropriate techniques for early diagnosis of brain disorders. We will also describe methods for processing healthcare data, i.e., actigraphy, MRI, electroencephalography (EEG) signals, etc., through advanced analytics methods and Artificial Intelligence decision support algorithms. Benefits of these approaches for policy makers and insurance providers will be discussed.

TITLE: Data Analytics in the Energy Sector
ABSTRACT:
The constantly increasing momentum of big data and the increasing adoption of leading-edge information and communication technologies, constitute an unprecedented market opportunity for improving energy efficiency and management. More specifically, the building sector and its lifecycle, power networks, smart grids and energy systems are sectors that are expected to take advantage of these technologies, aiming to improved operations and efficiency and providing added value for all the stakeholders.
In the roundtable, we will focus on highlighting applications and cases that make use of data and appropriate techniques for the decision support of energy stakeholders, such as network operators, utilities, energy suppliers, building managers, investors and financiers, local and regional authorities, policy makers towards energy efficiency goals, through the use of the latest technology.
