This episode is one of a special series recorded during the 2019 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle. Joining me for this episode is Maryam Zokaei Nikoo from Pennsylvania State University to discuss her meeting presentation, “Using Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing to Predict Alzheimer’s Disease,” which is based on research to improve early detection of Alzheimer’s, a disease currently impacting 5.8 million Americans and the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S.
