OHSU experts tapped for national Artificial Intelligence initiative

The National Institutes of Health, or NIH, today announced funding for three projects with Oregon Health & Science University leaders that will use data to improve health outcomes. The NIH Common Fund's Bridge2AI program supports the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence, or AI, in biomedical research to address ambitious issues facing researchers today. One of the program's key goals is to generate new "flagship" data sets and best practices for machine-learning analysis. Machine learning is a type of AI that provides machines, such as computers, the ability to automatically learn and improve from their experiences. Today, the biomedical research community generates a wealth of data; however, because the data are generated for analysis using other computational and statistical tools, most are not suitable for machine learning.
