Practice-based Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) concept learning for drug-disease precaution early detection and refinement. The outcome of the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) concept learning system will help mitigate the impact of Adverse Drug Events hence directly contribute to the National Research Priority promoting and maintaining good health.

The outcome of the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) concept learning system will help mitigate the impact of Adverse Drug Events hence directly contribute to the National Research Priority promoting and maintaining good health. It will tailor SNOMED knowledge to different clinical settings and provide evidence-based preventative health care. The enabling methodology from this project for building computerised cognitive learning systems will be a frontier technology to enhance smart information use in clinical decision support. It will also contribute to the development of knowledge-based systems. A network version of the developed system will assist doctors working in rural and remote areas with their clinical decision making and prescribing practice.Read moreRead less

Summary
A computational network model of the mental lexicon. Understanding a word's meaning is a challenge when learning a language and a capacity that is seriously affected in various disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, however little is known about how meaning is organised in the mental lexicon and evolves from childhood into old age. This project aims to build a detailed computational model integrating information available through the senses and structure in the language environment to derive a l ....A computational network model of the mental lexicon. Understanding a word's meaning is a challenge when learning a language and a capacity that is seriously affected in various disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, however little is known about how meaning is organised in the mental lexicon and evolves from childhood into old age. This project aims to build a detailed computational model integrating information available through the senses and structure in the language environment to derive a lexicon that covers most words people know. By distinguishing qualitative different types of meaning relations, this project will allow the prediction of the kind of information and processes required to understand words and an understanding of how this lexicon grows in childhood and declines in old age.Read moreRead less
In search of relevant things: A novel approach for image analysis. This project aims to investigate how experts’ cognitive processes may be transferred to computers for the automatic recognition of visual features. By merging computer and brain sciences, the project will characterise the way the brains of experts understand what is seen, in order to translate such a process in a new computer vision tool. This should provide significant benefits, such as automatic detection of threats or diseases ....In search of relevant things: A novel approach for image analysis. This project aims to investigate how experts’ cognitive processes may be transferred to computers for the automatic recognition of visual features. By merging computer and brain sciences, the project will characterise the way the brains of experts understand what is seen, in order to translate such a process in a new computer vision tool. This should provide significant benefits, such as automatic detection of threats or diseases in satellite and diagnostic imaging, respectively, among other applications. For the first time, the combination of how a computer analyses an image and how an expert interprets it will be used as a common language to enable machines to process visual information in a manner that mimics the way human brains do.Read moreRead less
