We are delighted that Prof emeritus Arvid Lundervold has agreed to give the opening keynote talk at the Joint CEDAS-NORBIS Summer School 2023.

Title: AI and predictive modelling y ≈ f(X,θ) in medicine and biology

Abstract: This talk aims to inspire and motivate participants, offering a blend of neuroscience, AI, and predictive modelling, demonstrating the power of interdisciplinary thinking in biomedicine. We will discuss the exciting intersection of AI and predictive modelling, and its transformative potential in medicine and biology. We will make use of the predictive modelling framework “y ≈ f(X,θ)” and also draw parallels between the nature of generative AI and biological processes, including how the brain seems to implement language, learning, and memory.

We’ll look at some real-world examples, showcasing how these technologies can revolutionize healthcare and biological research. From predicting disease progression to personalizing treatments, these tools are becoming integral in our quest to understand and improve life and health.

The talk will also address ethical and technological challenges, emphasizing the importance of data privacy, algorithmic transparency, and infrastructure. We will conclude with a forward-looking discussion, highlighting emerging trends and the potential role of early-stage researchers in shaping this exciting field.

Registration is now open for CEDAS and NORBIS members. Emails have been sent to all members. First come, first served. In other words, please register as soon as possible, to be considered for a spot at the event. We will shortly after the opening of the registration look into all registrations and send out a confirmation to those, who we can admit to the school (please note that we have only a limited number of places). Only a confirmed registration enables the actual participation in this summer school.

We are pleased to confirm that Hotel Zander K will host the Joint CEDAS-NORBIS Summer School 2023.
