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.

\nBiography

\nLarge Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remark able capabilities across various domains. However\, it is still very chall enging to build highly-reliable applications with LLMs that support specia lized use cases. LLMs trained on web data often excel at capturing general language patterns\, but they could struggle to support specialized domain s and personalized user needs. Moreover\, LLMs can produce errors that are deceptively plausible\, making them potentially dangerous for high-trust scenarios. In this talk\, I will discuss some of our recent efforts in add ressing these challenges with data-efficient tuning methods and a novel fa ctuality evaluation framework. Specifically\, my talk will focus on buildi ng multilingual applications\, one crucial use case often characterized by limited tuning and evaluation data.
\nBio
\nXinyi(Cindy) Wang is a research scientist at Google DeepMind working on La rge Language Models(LLM) and its application to generative question-answer ing. She has worked on multilingual instruction-tuning for Gemini and mult ilingual generative models used in Google search. Before Google DeepMind\, Cindy Wang obtained her PhD degree in Language Technologies at Carnegie M ellon University. During her PhD\, she mainly worked on developing data-ef ficient natural language processing~(NLP) systems. She has made several co ntributions in data selection\, data representation\, and model adaptation for multilingual NLP.
