Data Science, including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, has already sparked a lot of innovation and insights. But how can it create value for your domain of expertise and impact your bottom line?
SDSC-CONNECT is a series of conferences organized by the Swiss Data Science Center. We address challenges and applications in the fields of data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence, in a broad range of areas.
Major digestive surgery is associated with a high comorbidity (i.e. high risk of complications after surgery). Anticipating Postoperative complications (POC) may help and guide clinicians in the postoperative management of surgical patients. Unfortunately, the available tools in clinical practice are of restraint value due to their limited accuracy. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has shown a meteoric rise in medicine, showing numerous clinical applications but its role to predict POC remains unknown. We aim to use AI to develop new models allowing to improve the prediction of POC in a dataset of >2000 patients undergoing major digestive surgery.
Liver cancer is the second deadliest malignancy. It essentially accounts hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Surgery with liver resection is the main curative option but unfortunately, it is only recommended in patients with early HCC. Prognosis of HCC is particularly challenging and results from numerous attempts using various strategies remain relatively poor.Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated unmatched value to decipher complex traits and mechanisms. This multicentric effort will include 8 Academic centers from the United States, Europe and Asia, allowing to generate a large-scale dataset of patients undergoing liver resection for HCC. We aim to investigate the input of AI to improve prognostication of these patients.
Liver cancer ranks third in terms of cancer-related mortality. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 90% of primary liver cancers. Tremendous efforts have been pursued to establish HCC prognostic, including clinical, radiological, pathological and even molecular readouts. Regardless of the strategy, the performance of these tools remains modest. Recent data using artificial intelligence (AI) on HCC histology (microscopy) have revealed promising results. We aim to submit pictures of liver cancers specimen to AI models to generate algorithms allowing to establish prognosis in a large-scale study including centers from North America, Europe and Asia.

Le service d’intelligence artificielle ChatGPT fascine la planète. Et pour cause : posez-lui la question que vous voulez et la machine vous répondra suffisamment bien pour passer un examen universitaire à votre place, rédiger vos mails ou même, c’est pour bientôt, assurer votre défense devant un tribunal. Quel bouleversement pour l’école et l’apprentissage ? L’intelligence artificielle peut-elle (…)
IMI has been invited to host a series of presentations during the upcoming annual conference of SGKM (the Swiss Association of Communication and Media Research). For this, they are collaborating with C4DT and have chosen the theme of automatic content generation (and detection) and (dis)information dissemination in the digital age, under the working title “AI, synthetic media and society”. The organizers are particularly interested in IMI’s interdisciplinary approach and the practical aspect of their projects. The goal is to present the current state of research in computer science, to show that this theme is a breeding ground for interdisciplinary research (ethics, law, social sciences, etc.) and to inspire new interdisciplinary collaborations.
Gain in-depth understanding of the digital ecosystem, cybersecurity and digital trust, and interface with internal and external ICT stakeholders.
![[FR] Prisée par les mineurs, l’application TikTok n’est pas sans danger](https://c4dt.epfl.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/index.png)
L’application TikTok compte près de 440’000 adeptes en Suisse, dont un tiers de mineurs. Dans plusieurs pays, les autorités tentent de prémunir les enfants contre les dangers du réseau social, mais la tâche s’avère compliquée.
Implementing and deploying highly secure cryptographic protocols is difficult. This informal and educational workshop will address the issues uncovered during the public intrusion test of the Swiss Post/Scytl e-voting solution. We will explain, for a non-technical audiance, what were the problems found and why do they matter. We will also draw lessons on how to make cryptographic implementations more secure and auditable.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but it has also provoked the spread of what seems to be an unstoppable #Infodemic, an epidemicspread of informationonline. Cyberattacks are on the rise, exploiting the social distancing measure that has forced millions of people to stay in theirhomes, working and studying remotely, or surfing online to fill their time away from work. The frustration and anxiety of these times has made people more vulnerable targets. Beyond its obvious impact, dis-/misinformation also offers a critical vector for cyberattacks.

February 7-11th, 2022, online Artificial Intelligence holds great promise for the economy and society. It has also led to the explosion of new ethical challenges, such as biased decision making, filter bubbles, data protection, face recognition, deep fakes and cyber security. During this week we aim to create awareness of the ethical and privacy dilemmas (…)
The revamped course “Foundations of ICT and Digital Trust for Decision Makers” becomes a catalyst for responsible digital transformation. The 7th edition of this course took place throughout the week of October 31, 2022, in collaboration with the Fondation Lombard Odier.

Im Oktober 2022 veröffentlicht das Bundesamtes für Kommunikation (BAKOM) seinen Grundlagenbericht an den Bundesrat zu den wichtigsten Herausforderungen, denen sich der Service Public aufgrund der Digitalisierung gegenübersieht.
Aus diesem Anlass bringt diese eintägige C4DT-Konferenz Experten und Expertinnen aus der Verwaltung, den Service Public Unternehmen, den Regulatoren, der Wissenschaft, der Politik und der Zivilgesellschaft zusammen, um sich kritisch damit auseinanderzusetzen, wie die Digitalisierung unser Verständnis und die Bereitstellung des Service Public verändert. Zudem werden mögliche Lösungsansätze für sich abzeichnenden Herausforderungen in vier interaktiven Panels diskutiert.
Mit dieser Veranstaltung bieten wir die Möglichkeit verschiedene Blickwinkel auf dieses wichtige Thema kennenzulernen und sich mit Vertretern aus dem Service Public selbst, sowie aus Politik, Wirtschaft und der Gesellschaft auszutauschen.
