Artificial intellige nce is an exciting field spanning computer science\, engineering\, mathema tics\, and statistics. In recent years\, it has become a hot topic that pr omises to revolutionize many aspects of our daily lives ranging from our c ars to our health. However\, only a few truly understand what artificial i ntelligence represents\, and how it can be helpful in our professional liv es.
\nProfessor Sejdić will address a question that we often ask our selves: Will artificial intelligence replace my clinician? He will also co ver some of recent developments dealing with artificial intelligence and d ysphagia\, a swallowing disorder caused by a variety of neurological condi tions (e.g.\, stroke\, cerebral palsy\, Parkinson’s disease)\, head and ne ck cancer\, genetic syndromes\, and iatrogenic conditions or trauma. A rec ently proposed field called computational deglutition is a collaboration b etween clinicians and the data science community aimed at the development of clinically relevant algorithms that will aid clinicians during the asse ssment and treatment of swallowing disorders.
