NoDaLiDa 2019 Conference in Turku, Finland

Posted on October 9, 2019 by hanna

Hercules Dalianis and I recently attended NoDaLiDa 2019, the Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics, in Turku (Åbo), Finland between September 30 to October 2 2019.

The first NoDaLiDa conference was in Gothenburg in 1977 and included 13 papers written on typewriters. The papers were in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and English. This years rendition was considerably larger with over 75 papers presented during workshops or the main conference.  None was written on a typewriter to my knowledge and all were in English. The papers did not only include research related to the Nordic languages, but also Spanish, Czech and Tibetan to name a few.

Both Hercules and I presented papers during the workshop on NLP and pseudonymization. I presented the paper Augmenting a De-identification System for Swedish Clinical Text Using Open Resources and Deep Learning, co-written with Hercules, and Hercules presented his paper Pseudonymisation of Swedish Electronic Patient Records Using a Rule-Based Approach.

We have written a report from the conference, which is available in Swedish.

All the best,

Hanna

Erasmus+ at Athens University of Economics and Business

Posted on June 13, 2019 by Hercules

I have been at Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) for a month teaching a course called Clinical Text Mining at their Master program in Data Science. This is an exchange through Erasmus+.

I have enjoyed it a lot and also visiting associate professor Ion Androutsopoulos and his post doc Jannis Pavlopoulos at the AUEB Natural Language Processing group and learned a lot of new things among them how to generate text from radiology images.

Hej I am Maria!


I have been working as a research assistant, here at the Department of Computer and System Sciences at Stockholm University since April 2019 jointly at IS unit and at SAS unit. I am working on a project until the end of August, for the prediction of adverse drug events utilizing data from electronic health records and my supervisors are Panos Papapetrou and Hercules Dalianis. 

I have a Master’s in Health Informatics where I was introduced to various courses concerning tools, standardization and data science for health informatics. During my undergraduate studies at Athens University of Economics and Business, I was introduced to Computer Science and Information Systems and their managerial applications. I gained a firm footing on Information Technology by attending various courses like Programming in several languages, Mathematics, Databases, and Theoretical Computer Science.

My time here at DSV has been great and fun, working with well educated and knowledgeable people!

Smarta lås – samarbete med Stockholms stad

Posted on April 30, 2019 by MartinH

Kan lås göras smarta? Martin Henkel, Erik Perjons och Rahim Rahmani har deltagit i ett projekt tillsammans med Stockholms stad. Projektet har tillsammans med leverantörer av låslösningar undersökt möjligheter för staden att använda smarta lås.

Inom projektet lyfte leverantörerna fram många intressanta lösningar för att göra åtkomst för hemtjänst, förvaltning och avfallshantering enklare.

DSV del i arbete var att analysera de föreslagna lösningarna utifrån ett plattforms- och ekosystems-perspektiv.
