Abstract
Historically, Artificial Intelligence has taken a symbolic route for representing and reasoning about objects at a higher-level or a statistical route for learning complex models from large data. To achieve true AI in complex domains such as healthcare, it is necessary to make these different paths meet and enable seamless human interaction. First, I will introduce learning from rich, structured, complex and noisy data. One of the key attractive properties of the learned models is that they use a rich representation for modeling the domain that potentially allows for seam-less human interaction. I will present the recent progress that allows for more reasonable human interaction where the human input is taken as “advice” and the learning algorithm combines this advice with data. I will present these algorithms in the context of several healthcare problems -- learning from electronic health records, clinical studies, and surveys -- and demonstrate the value of involving experts during learning.
