How to exchange and grant access to health data in a secure way: approaches and recommendations
Event date:Thursday, 14 May, 2020Place:WebinarThursday, May 14 2020
The health crisis due to COVID-19 is shaping a new reality in which the exchange and access to health data in a secure way will be more and more necessary. In this complex challenge converge both the respect for the individual rights as well as the interests of the patients and the need to promote the research in pursuit of the public interest. To face this challenge, we can find different approaches across Europe. In this webinar, we will present the experiences of three EU-funded projects (BigMedilytics, BodyPass, and DeepHealth), besides an overview of the legal framework and recommendations to enforce both national regulations and GDPR by an expert in data privacy and security.

Are we using data in the best way to manage the COVID-19 Pandemic? Webinar
Event date:Thursday, 26 March, 2020Place:Online SessionWe are living in the largest, most dramatic and unexpected social experiment ever, as governments launch a variety of “social distancing” measures to slow down the coronavirus contagion. Also the use of AI and Big Data is being tested as never before: China, Taiwan, South Korea are using massive data collection and smartphones for “track and tracing systems”. In Europe nothing similar has been launched yet, while quantitative models to forecast the spread of the virus are multiplying. In Italy where the pandemic is raging there is a hot debate on the opportunity to follow the Asian example. Nobody has all the answers.
The BDVA community wants to open a discussion to share experiences and evidence about the best way to use data and AI to manage the pandemic and support dentifying the best practices to be recommended and the best ideas to be shared. In this webinar we start the discussion with a few expert speakers reporting on the Asian and ongoing European experiences. But we call on all interested members of the community to participate and share other experiences and ideas to learn from each other.
Date/Time: March 26th, 14h CET
Registration: here. (closed)

Carolyn Lawrence-Dill is a Professor at Iowa State University. Her research interests have grown from plant biology to genomics to phenomics. Carolyn served as the Director of the Maize Genetics and Genomics Database for nearly ten years, was a founding member of the North American Plant Phenotyping Network, and serves as a co-chair for the International Plant Phenotyping Network. Current research in her lab group focuses on the analysis of language-based phenotypes for association genetics and novel candidate gene prediction.
Jesse Poland is an Associate Professor at Kansas State University, Director of the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Applied Wheat Genomics, and Director of the Wheat Genetic and Genomic Resource Center. Research in Jesse’s group is focused on wheat genetics, genomics, and germplasm improvement. Jesse’s research group is currently developing new approaches in quantitative genetics, genomics and high-throughput phenotyping for use in breeding, diversity studies, and association genetics. In collaboration with public breeding programs, Jesse implements the use of genomic selection methods to accelerate wheat breeding. In the area of germplasm development, Jesse’s group focuses on developing new breeding lines with resistance to the major pests of wheat including stem rust, stripe rust, leaf rust, and Hessian Fly and seeks to understand the genetic basis of these traits. To complement advances in genomics, Jesse’s lab develops high-throughput phenotyping approaches for field-based evaluation of breeding lines, focused primarily on genetic characterization of heat and drought tolerance and development of improved germplasm.

1st Symposium on Biases in Human Computation and Crowdsourcing - Call for Abstract
Event date:Monday, 21 October, 2019 to Tuesday, 22 October, 2019Place:Sheffield, UKHuman Computation and Crowdsourcing have become ubiquitous in the world of algorithm augmentation and data management. However, humans have various cognitive biases that influence the way they make decisions, remember information, and interact with machines. It is thus important to identify human biases and analyse their effect on complex hybrid systems. On the other hand, the potential interaction with a large pool of human contributors gives the opportunity to detect and handle biases in existing data and systems.
The goal of this symposium is to analyse both existing human biases in hybrid systems, and methods to manage bias via crowdsourcing and human computation. We will discuss different types of biases, measures and methods to track bias, as well as methodologies to prevent and solve bias.
