SemLab €4 Million AI-driven research project open for participation to improve quality of life after cancer treatment with health & wearables data.

SemLab € 4 Million Research project  ”Artificial Intelligence for monitoring health status  combining big data from new sources of health data including mobile health apps & wearables, social-, nutrition- and health records data”. The project is now open for participants within oncology or data driven organizations.

Challenge: AI (Artificial Intelligence) can provide new opportunities to define statistical and clinical significance, but present also challenges as it requires specific analytical approaches.  Cancer treatment Information will not only be collected from traditional sources (cohorts, comprehensive electronic health records and clinical registries) but there is a fast growing number new sources which will be useful to include. Semlab indicated emerging sources from personalized mobile health apps and wearables and sources from other areas such us nutrition, social, environmental data. After informed consent this data from disparate sources effectively monitor health status of individual patients, provide overall actionable insights at the point of care and improve quality of life after the cancer treatment.

Outcome: The project outcome determining and monitoring the combined effects of cancer treatment, environment, lifestyle and genetics on the quality of life, enabling early identification of effects that can cause development of new medical conditions and/or impair the quality of life.

Bram Stalknecht: We focus on how to better acquire, manage, share, model, process and exploit big data using, AI to effectively monitor health status of individual patients, provide overall actionable insights at the point of care and improve quality of life after the cancer treatment.

Participation: Semlab already have good quality partners, but we are open to discuss participation from Oncology Hospitals, Post-oncology Organizations, Pharmaceutical Companies and Health app & wearables Manufacturers. Other companies with relevant data (social, environmental, etc.) are also welcome to discuss participation.
This is a € 4 Million EC-funding Research and Innovation project proposal.

Crypto Data: First Blockchain project for Reference Data.

blockchain2

SemLab is currently entering a Shared Reference Data project with distributed ledger technology, in order to simplify reference data processes. Reference data is a headache for financial instrument services, where there is a lack of coordination, legacy data systems and inefficient processes. SemLab will make the current legacy obsolete and stop the need of having own record keeping with inevitable and costly inconsistencies that need to be reconciled. The project aim is to tackle these problems through the distributed ledger prototype simulate the collaborative management of reference data, as well as the use of that data for corporate bond issuance. The project is now open for participants in the financial service industry. Data suppliers, buy- and sell side participants will be part of the project, benefit in first user experience in crypto data.

Participants could interact with reference data after issuance, with any proposed changes requiring validation by the underwriter to ensure the ledger provided a single, immutable record of all data related to the bond. The partners allowing regulators and network participants to view in real time which parties on the ledger have created, issued and proposed amendments to the data record.

The project outcome is a shared reference data platform based on disturbed ledger technology.  Results intend to demonstrate accurate and automated blockchain ref data and reduce reference data costs while improving latency and operational risks in back offices. Reference Data will be managed by one sophisticated agile system without the need of own data copies.

SemLab  is combing Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain technology to cover over 15 million financial instruments in more than 200 markets,  to improve risk management, maintain compliance with regulatory mandates and maximize operational efficiency. Artificial Intelligence, eg natural language processing, machine learning is used in text analytics in order to integrate reference content correctly.

Grafische vormgeving van jurisprudentie? Juribot doet het!

 

Emma Smitshuijzen, Legal Business Analyst, over de nieuwe hoge raad- interface:

Juribot, de kunstmatige intelligentie applicatie voor juristen, komt opnieuw met een innovatieve manier om jurisprudentie inzichtelijker en transparanter te maken: dit keer met een grafische interface voor referenties in Hoge Raad zaken (ook wel: de graaf). De graaf laat u de verwijzingen binnen uitspraken van de Hoge Raad zien in een interactieve grafische interface, en daarbij ook de mate van verwijzingen. Juribot™  belicht hiermee een nieuwe innovatieve kant van het gebruik van Artificiële Intelligentie (AI) binnen het juridisch vakgebied. Met het gebruik van de graaf is inzicht krijgen in de belangrijkste jurisprudentie over een bepaald onderwerp makkelijker dan ooit.

De graaf:

  • visualiseert de referenties tussen zaken van de Hoge Raad.

  • toont bij het invoeren van zoektermen alleen de zaken die matchen met uw termen.

  • geeft verschillende filtermogelijkheden om tot het beste resultaat te komen.

  • kan gezoomed en gesleept worden om naar uw wens referenties in beeld te brengen.

  • toont met verschil in grootte de mate waarin gerefereerd wordt naar een zaak.

    • hierdoor is snel in te zien wat wordt beschouwd als een kernzaak binnen een bepaald onderwerp

.

Een voorbeeld van snel inzicht is de  algemene top 5 van meest-gerefereerde strafzaken:

  1. Arrest Redelijke Termijn II (ECLI:NL:HR:2008:BD2578)

  2. Arrest Afvoerpijp (ECLI:NL:HR:2004:AM2533)

  3. Arrest Hennepkwekerij (ECLI:NL:HR:2006:AU9130)

  4. Arrest Redelijke Termijn I (ECLI:NL:HR:2000:AA7309)

  5. Arrest Post-Salduz (ECLI:NL:HR:2009:BH3079)

 

Op dit moment is de graaf in ontwikkeling op het gebied van strafrecht, maar zoals voor alle applicaties van Juribot™ geldt: ideeën en wensen van gebruikers staan voorop. Het is mogelijk om de graaf (en de andere applicaties) door te ontwikkelen tot een product dat volledig aansluit bij uw rechtsgebied of manier van werken. Denk hierbij aan het toevoegen van eigen data of het aanpassen van de filters.

 

Neemt u vooral contact met mij op bij ideeën, vragen of opmerkingen Emma Smitshuijzen, smitshuijzen@semlab.nl . Laat het me ook weten indien u geïnteresseerd bent in een vrijblijvende demonstratie van JuriBot

JuriBot – The Dutch Legal AI Predicting Criminal Trial Outcomes

Artificial Lawyer recently caught up with Bram Stalknecht, CEO of Dutch AI developer SemLab and founder of JuriBot, a legal AI litigation analysis application capable of criminal trial outcome prediction.

Stalknecht begins by explaining that JuriBot has been built by SemLab, a Dutch company that says of itself: ‘[We are] Europe’s main developers of semantic software applications. Today we have one of the largest groups of experts in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence technologies.’

SemLab has around 45 full time staff working on AI. The company operates in several areas and has developed legal applications before, such as CrimiKaart, which allows people to track crimes committed in Holland at a very detailed level.
