报告摘要：
Vast amounts of healthcaredata are generated and collected daily. To improve the patient outcomesand health care service efficiency, optimization can play a big role fordecision-making from diseases prevention, diagnosis and treatment, to hospitalmanagement. In this talk, two data analytics approaches will be introduced:data-driven optimization models and algorithms for learning from uncertain ornoisy data (e.g., images in electronic health records), and automated knowledgediscovery based on phase-type distributions from complex data with covariates.As case studies, novel classification methods have been applied to evaluate thepancreatic carcinoma through the use of quantitative histopathologicalsignatures of nuclear images, and phase-type distribution is utilized to studyreadmission rates and discharge planning by analyzing the length-of-stay ofpatients. Other potential applications of proposed methodologies will be alsodiscussed.
