Eric Horvitz, MD, PhD
Affiliate Associate Professor, Medical Educatio nand Biomedical Informatics
I'm interested in computational foundations of intelligent sensing, reasoning, and action--with a particular focus on methods for grappling with uncertainty about environments or situations. I'm also interested in models of human cognition, and in developing computational systems that leverage insights about cognition to help people to achieve their goals. Much of my work makes use of probability and decision theory, decision analysis, and, in particular, Bayesian and decision-theoretic principles. My research spans both theoretical issues and concrete, real-world applications. I'm interested in information triage and alerting that takes human attention into consideration, spanning work on notification systems, multitasking, and psychological studies of interruption and recovery. Other interests include principles of mixed-initiative interaction that can support fluid, efficient collaborations between people and computing systems, methods for guiding computer actions in accordance with the preferences of people, search and information retrieval, and collaboration. I've also been long interested in offline and real-time optimization of the expected value of computational systems under limited and varying resources. Areas of concentration in this realm include flexible or anytime computation, ideal metareasoning for guiding computation, compilation for reducing real-time deliberation, ongoing, continual computation, and the construction of bounded-optimal reasoning systems--systems that maximize the expected utility of the people they serve, given the expected costs of reasoning, the problems encountered over time, and assertions about a system's constitution. Research in this arena includes tackling hard reasoning problems with learning and decision making methods.  I'm serving as President-Elect of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence. See the AAAI web pages for more information on research and events in the AI community.

Anthony Rossini, ScD
Affiliate Associate Professor, Medical Education and Biomedical Informatics
Background: statistics,biostatistics, and biomedical informatics, with over 25 years experience in software and information technology systems.
My interests lie in the intersection of statistics and informatics, especially with respect to the commoditization of technology for data analysis. Past work has included simple parallel computing, the use of virtual reality for common statistical analyses, as well as support for projects which drive interactive data analysis modalities (http://ess.r-project.org/ ; http://www.bioconductor.org/). Past statistical methodology research focused on estimation for semiparametric regression models for interval censored data and drug development program design. Current research interests focus on the design of model specification languages for statistics based on Common Lisp.I am currently EU Group Head for the Novartis Pharma AG Modeling and Simulation Statistics group in Basel, Switzerland, which focuses on drug-disease-market modelling and the use of statistical and mathematical models as "buckets for quantifying knowledge". My current activities range from complex statistical modelling to the design and specification of informatics technologies to support reuseable, knowledge-containing statistical and mathematical models. This latter work can be thought of as data-integration for data-analytic methods (both classes and instances) along with associated metadata.
