DESCRIPTION:Medicine was practiced for thousands of years before numbers we
 re first used by Santori to measure the pulse rate in the early 1600s. Sin
 ce then diagnostic medicine has made more and more numerical measurements\
 , with recent explosion in the context of computerization and machine lear
 ning. But how useful are numbers\, really? In this talk\, I will reflect o
 n several issues associated with medical data and their interpretation: ac
 curacy\, fairness\, bias\, and others.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Andy Adler\, \n\
