Purpose


Here is another quick note before we move on to GPT-4 assisted automation journey. Below are some "little" helps ChatGPT had already been offering,  here and there, during daily works. 

And what could be the perceived gaps, risks and traps to LLMs assisted automation, if you happen to explore this path too. I'd also love to hear anyone's use cases and experiences on this front too.

A "big" or "small" ask for ChatGPT?


I tried OpenAI GPT's coding model a couple of weeks ago, to see whether it can do e.g. some message transformations between healthcare protocols. It surely "can", to a seemingly fair degree. 
It has been nearly 3 weeks, and it's a long, long time for ChatGPT, so I am wondering how quickly it grows up by now, and whether it could do some of integration engineer jobs for us, e.g. can it create an InterSystems COS DTL tool to turn the HL7 into FHIR message? 

Immediately I got some quick answers, in less than one minute or two.

Continued from the previous Part I ... In part I, we walked through traditional ML approaches on this Covid-19 dataset on Kaggle. 

In this Part II, let's run the same data & task, in its simplest possible form, through IRIS integratedML which  is a nice & sleek SQL interface for backend AutoML options. It uses the same environment.

Purpose

Recently I noticed a Kaggle dataset  for the prediction of whether a Covid-19 patient will be admitted to ICU.  It is a spreadsheet of 1925 encounter records of 231 columns of vital signs and observations, with the last column of "ICU" being 1 for Yes or 0 for No. The task is to predict whether a patient will be admitted to ICU based on known data.

Keyword: Pandas DataFrame, IRIS, Python, JDBC

Purpose

Pandas DataFrame is popular tool for EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis). In ML tasks, the first thing we usually perform is to understand the data a bit more. Last week I was trying this Covid19 dataset in Kaggle. Basically the data is a spreadsheet of 1925 encounter rows with 231 columns, and the task is simply to predict whether a patient (linked to  1 or more encounter records) would be admitted to ICU. So it's a normal classification task, and we would as usual use padas.DataFrame to take a quick look first.

Purpose

A few months ago I touched on a brief note on "Python JDBC connection into IRIS", and since then I referred to it more frequently than my own scratchpad hidden deep in my PC. Hence, here comes up another 5-minute note on how to make "Python ODBC connection into IRIS".

ODBC and PyODBC seem pretty easy to set up in a Windows client, yet every time I stumbled a bit somewhere on setting up an unixODBC and PyODBC client in a Linux/Unix-style server.

Purpose

Over the Easter Weekend I touched on some deep learning classifier for Covid-19 Lungs.  The demo result seems fine, seemingly matching some academic research publications around that time on this topic. But is it really "fine "? 

Recently I happened to listen to an online lunch webinar on "Explainability  in Machine Learning", and Don talked about this classification result at the end of his talk:

1. Purpose

This is another 5-minute simple note on invoking the IRIS JDBC driver via Python 3 within i.e. a Jupyter Notebook, to read from and write data  into an IRIS database instance via SQL syntax, for demo purpose.

1. Purpose

This is a 10-minute simple step-by-step guide on how to quickly set up various flavors of HealthShare docker containers from scratch on a Win10 laptop. 

For example, we can build a couple of  HealthShare "global edition vs UK Edition" demos as shown below.  

There are a couple of frequently asked questions from HealthShare colleagues and partners:

1. Purpose and Objectives

In  previous"Part I" we have set up a deep learning demo environment. In this "Part II" we will test what we could do with it.

Many people at my age had started with the classic MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) model. It is intuitive hence conceptually easier to start with.

1. Purpose and Objectives

This "Part I" is a quick record on how to set up a "simple" but popular deep learning demo environment step-by-step with a Python 3 binding to a HealthShare 2017.2.1 instance .  I used a Win10 laptop at hand, but the approach works the same on MacOS and Linux.

1. Scope and Objective:

Recently we supported a few NHS cases that required TIE (Trust Integration Engine) integration with the PKB service.   Hence this article is meant to be a 10-minute quick guide to describe a demo solution (simple configurations and end-2-end implementation steps) for Health Connect (Ensemble) Integration with PKB (Patient-Knows-Best) service.
