  • Automating highly manual processing tasks, translating and digitizing safety case processing and adverse drug reaction documents to make them more usable
  • Discuss how optical character recognition (OCR), NLP and deep neural networks are being used to format this data
  • Ultimately leading to faster assessment of subject, site and study risks
  • Using AI to systematically evaluate the effect of different eligibility criteria on cancer trial populations and outcomes with real-world data
  • Ultimately identifying a wider and more accurate pool of patients that could potentially benefit from treatments
  • Facilitating the design of more inclusive trials while maintaining safeguards for patient safety

  • This session provides the unique opportunity to listen to, and engage with, innovative start-up and middle market companies that are accelerating the integration of AI into clinical trials
  • Six companies will take to the stage to deliver quick fire presentations about the work they are carrying out to enhance clinical trials
  • Effectively applying deep learning methods to medical image segmentation and medical time series analysis
  • Refining AI imaging studies via consistent selection of clinically meaningful endpoints such as survival, symptoms, and need for treatment models into the realm of statistical inference – particularly for prediction heterogenous treatment effects
  • Understanding the promise and limitations of causal AI

CXL as memory expansion is changing how data centers think about main memory.  Direct attached memory on DIMMs has flattened out, with DDR5 barely extending the footprint of older DDR4 systems at the same time that artificial intelligence and similar applications are demanding massive increases in total memory capacity.  CXL memory modules can dramatically grow the memory footprint, however CXL introduces new challenges that have users concerned.  Increased power requirements, longer access latency, limited per-module capacity, and increased danger of data loss on power failure have end users wondering… is it really worth it?  Non-volatile main memory can address these limitations of CXL memory expansion, encouraging data centers to lay the foundation for a future with whole new ways to think about memory pooling.

Bill Gervasi

Memory Technology Analyst
Discobolus Designs

Bill Gervasi joined Intel in 1976 in the computer systems group manufacturing department, eventually leaving Intel in 1995. During that period, the computer industry changed from computers that filled rooms the size of basketball courts to desktop and laptop form factors in nearly every home in the world.

Since then, Bill specialized in the computer memory technology arena, getting involved in international standards and battles for global dominance for this key part of computer systems. As a chairman of the JEDEC standards organization, he has had a role in paving the memory industry roadmap, and contributed to spreading these standards to the world including engagement with foreign governments. Bill is a public speaker in this niche, generating both excitement and controversy with his aggressive vision for change and progress.

Bill is an incurable practical joker who thrives on making people laugh (or periodically grimace), and his years in the nascent computer industry are polka dotted with gags on unsuspecting co-workers. Bill’s eclectic background also includes years as a published food critic, and fortunately even more years as an aerobics fitness instructor, apparently to burn off the calories consumed while reviewing restaurants. He lives with his wife in Orange County, California.

Bill makes the best coffee in the world, in case you wondered.
