We created an intelligent system that can accurately predict the price of an elective health care expense before the service is give, A database of paid health care claims is used to determine the price paid for elective services for each provider and insurance product. The tool has been in use by Capital District Physician's Health Plan Inc. since August 2016.

Industry is wary of broad government regulation which could hamper product innovation. In turn, regulators are cautious of what geopolitical impact the tech industry's global growth might have. The focus of the regulation strikes a balance between the two forces. Due to the open source availability of some of the technological elements that power geospatial software, rules in this field are "potentially less impactful than one might imagine," said Robert Cheetham, founder and CEO of Azavea, in an interview with CIO Dive. "Because so much of this work is happening in an open intellectual commons, from which everyone is drawing, contributing and participating in, it narrows the scope of what the regulation could cover," said Cheetham, whose B-corporation builds geospatial applications for civic and social impact.

This year ICCBR featured the Industry Day, the fifth annual Doctoral Consortium and three workshops.

Springs, NY. ICCBR is the annual meeting of the CBR community and the ICCBR also featured a workshop program consisting of three workshops. The main conference track featured 16 research paper presentations, nine posters, and two invited speakers. The papers and posters reflected the state of the art of case-based reasoning, dealing both with open problems at the core of CBR (especially in similarity assessment, case adaptation, and case-based maintenance), as well as trending applications of CBR (especially recommender systems and computer games) and the intersections of CBR with other areas such as multiagent systems. The first invited speaker, Igor Jurisica from the Ontario Cancer Institute and the University of Toronto, spoke about how to scale up case-based reasoning for "big data" applications. The Case-Based Reasoning in Health Sciences workshop, organized by Isabelle Bichindaritz, Cindy Marling, and Stefania Montani, and the EXPPORT workshop (Experience Reuse: Provenance, Process-Orientation and Traces), organized by David Leake, Béatrice Fuchs, Juan A. Recio Garcia, and Stefania Montani, were held jointly and dealt with how to deal with data represented CDPHP, was the local chair; William E. University, and Jonathan Rubin, from Registration information is available at www.aaai.org/Symposia/ the Palo Alto Research Center, were the Spring/ sss14.php.
