The first part of this talk will focus on issues that data sc ientists and engineers have to address when working with this kind of data (e.g. unreliable labels\, the effect of confounding factors\, necessity o f clinical interpretability\, difficulties with fusing more data sets). Th e second part of the talk will include some real examples of this kind of data science in the field of neurology (prediction of motor deficits in Pa rkinson’s disease based on acoustic analysis of speech\, diagnosis of Park inson’s disease dysgraphia utilising online handwriting\, exploring the Mo zart effect in epilepsy based on the music information retrieval) and psyc hology (assessment of graphomotor disabilities in children with developmen tal dysgraphia).\nBiography\nJiri Mekyska is the head of the BDALab (Brain Diseases Analysis Laboratory) at the Brno University of Technology\, wher e he leads a multidisciplinary team of researchers (signal processing engi neers\, data scientists\, neurologists\, psychologists) with a special foc us on the development of new digital endpoints and digital biomarkers enab ling to better understand\, diagnose and monitor neurodegenerative (e.g. P arkinson’s disease) and neurodevelopmental (e.g. dysgraphia) diseases.

\nWhile large language models have advanced the state-o f-the-art in natural language processing\, these models are trained on lar ge-scale datasets\, which may include harmful information. Studies have sh own that as a result\, the models exhibit social biases and generate misin formation after training. In this talk\, I will discuss my work on analyzi ng and interpreting the risks of large language models across the areas of fairness\, trustworthiness\, and safety. I will first describe my researc h in the detection of dialect bias between African American English (AAE) vs. Standard American English (SAE). The second part investigates the trus tworthiness of models through the memorization and subsequent generation o f conspiracy theories. I will end my talk with recent work in AI safety re garding text that may lead to physical harm.
