Machine Learning for Data-Driven Decisions (MLD3)

We are a part of the AI Lab within the Division of Computer Science and Engineering. We work at the interface of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and healthcare.

Welcome to the Machine Learning for Data-Driven Decisions Group at the University of Michigan!

Our current research portfolio focuses on major public health problems – including infectious diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes, respiratory failure, among others. We develop and state-of-the-art AI and machine learning methods to analyze large health datasets. Our work spans several aspects of AI including time-series analysis, reinforcement learning, computer vision, causal inference, and human-computer interaction. We aim to develop the computational methods needed to help organize, process, and transform data into actionable knowledge with the ultimate goal of improving health.

MCURES

a COVID predictive model developed specifically for the Michigan Medicine population: the Michigan COVID-19 Utilization and Risk Evaluation System, or MCURES. 

Friday Night AI: AI and COVID-19

Erkin Otles speaks about M-CURES, a machine learning model developed by people from our lab. M-CURES can help clinicians tell which COVID-19 patients are most likely to deteriorate.

How can machine learning impact healthcare?

Prof. Jenna Wiens uses machine learning to make sense of the immense amount of patient data generated by modern hospitals. This can help alleviate physician shortages, physician burnout, and the prevalence of medical errors.
