Project organisation and erp implementation methodGaurav Kumar
The Project Organization defines the human infrastructure of the project. This task is designed to define the project organization chart, the roles, and the relationships of the project team. The organizational structure clearly identifies roles and responsibilities of each position, augmenting the existing role definitions where necessary to cover all of the responsibilities. The Project Organization technique that is used in this step provides a standard set of roles and responsibilities which can be customized for a particular project. This should cover all personnel resources required, both full and part time.

Learning Embeddings from Free-text Triage Notes using Pretrained Transformer ...Mahmoud Elbattah
Presented at 15th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies (BIOSTEC 2022)
Émilien Arnaud, Mahmoud Elbattah, Maxime Gingon, Gilles Dequen
Abstract
The advent of transformer models has allowed for tremendous progress in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) domain. Pretrained transformers could successfully deliver the state-of-the-art performance in a myriad of NLP tasks. This study presents an application of transformers to learn contextual embeddings from free-text triage notes, widely recorded at the emergency department. A large-scale retrospective cohort of triage notes of more than 260K records was provided by the University Hospital of Amiens-Picardy in France. We utilize a set of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) for the French language. The quality of embeddings is empirically examined based on a set of clustering models. In this regard, we provide a comparative analysis of popular models including CamemBERT, FlauBERT, and mBART. The study could be generally regarded as an addition to the ongoing contributions of applying the BERT approach in the healthcare context.
Vision-Based Approach for Autism Diagnosis Using Transfer Learning and Eye-Tr...Mahmoud Elbattah
Presented at 2022 15th International Conference on Health Informatics (HEALTHINF)
Mahmoud Elbattah, Jean-Luc Guérin, Romuald Carette, Federica Cilia, Gilles Dequen
Abstract
The potentials of Transfer Learning (TL) have been well-researched in areas such as Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. This study aims to explore a novel application of TL to detect Autism Spectrum Disorder. We seek to develop an approach that combines TL and eye-tracking, which is commonly used for analyzing autistic features. The key idea is to transform eye-tracking scanpaths into a visual representation, which could facilitate using pretrained vision models. Our experiments implemented a set of widely used models including VGG-16, ResNet, and DenseNet. Our results showed that the TL approach could realize a promising accuracy of classification (ROC-AUC up to 0.78). The proposed approach is not claimed to provide superior performance compared to earlier work. However, the study is primarily thought to convey an interesting aspect regarding the use of (synthetic) visual representations of eye-tracking output as a means to transfer representations from models pretrained on large-scale datasets such as ImageNet.
NLP-Based Prediction of Medical Specialties at Hospital Admission Using Triag...Mahmoud Elbattah
Presented at 2021 IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI)
Émilien Arnaud, Mahmoud Elbattah, Maxime Gingon, Gilles Dequen
Abstract
Data Analytics is rapidly expanding within the healthcare domain to help develop strategies for improving the quality of care and curbing costs as well. Natural Language Processing (NLP) solutions have received particular attention whereas a large part of clinical data is stockpiled into unstructured physician or nursing notes. In this respect, we attempt to employ NLP to provide an early prediction of the medical specialties at hospital admission. The study uses a large-scale dataset including more than 260K ED records provided by the Amiens-Picardy University Hospital in France. Our approach aims to integrate structured data with unstructured textual notes recorded at the triage stage. On one hand, a standard MLP model is used against the typical set of features. On the other hand, a Convolutional Neural Network is used to operate over the textual data. While both learning components are conducted independently in parallel. The empirical results demonstrated a promising accuracy in general. It is conceived that the study could be an additional contribution to the mounting efforts of applying NLP methods in the healthcare domain.
NLP-Based Approach to Detect Autism Spectrum Disorder in Saccadic Eye MovementMahmoud Elbattah
Presented at 2020 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI)
Mahmoud Elbattah, Jean-Luc Guérin, Romuald Carette, Federica Cilia, Gilles Dequen
Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong condition generally characterized by social and communication impairments. The early diagnosis of ASD is highly desirable, yet it could be complicated by several factors. Standard tests typically require intensive efforts and experience, which calls for developing assistive tools. In this respect, this study aims to develop a Machine Learning-based approach to assist the diagnosis process. Our approach is based on learning the sequence-based patterns in the saccadic eye movements. The key idea is to represent eye-tracking records as textual strings describing the sequences of fixations and saccades. As such, the study could borrow Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods for transforming the raw eye-tracking data. The NLP-based transformation could yield interesting features for training classification models. The experimental results demonstrated that such representation could be beneficial in this regard. With standard ConvNet models, our approach could realize a promising accuracy of classification (ROC-AUC up to 0.84).
Generative Modeling of Synthetic Eye-Tracking Data: NLP-Based Approach with R...Mahmoud Elbattah

Authors:
Mahmoud Elbattah, Jean-Luc Guérin, Romuald Carette, Federica Cilia, Gilles Dequen
Abstract
This study explores a Machine Learning-based approach for generating synthetic eye-tracking data. In this respect, a novel application of Recurrent Neural Networks is experimented. Our approach is based on learning the sequence patterns of eye-tracking data. The key idea is to represent eye-tracking records as textual strings, which describe the sequences of fixations and saccades. The study therefore could borrow methods from the Natural Language Processing (NLP) domain for transforming the raw eye-tracking data. The NLP-based transformation is utilised to convert the high-dimensional eye-tracking data into an amenable representation for learning. Furthermore, the generative modeling could be implemented as a task of text generation. Our empirical experiments support further exploration and development of such NLP-driven approaches for the purpose of producing synthetic eye-tracking datasets for a variety of potential applications.

Authors:
Mahmoud Elbattah, Owen Molloy, Bernard P. Zeigler
Summary:
The paper presents a framework that incorporates Simulation Modeling along with Machine Learning (ML) for the purpose of designing pathways and evaluating the return on investment of implementation. The study goes through a use case in relation to elderly healthcare in Ireland, with a particular focus on the hip-fracture care scheme. Initially, unsupervised ML is utilised to extract knowledge from the Irish Hip Fracture Database. Data clustering is specifically applied to learn potential insights pertaining to patient characteristics, care-related factors, and outcomes. Subsequently, the data-driven knowledge is utilised within the process of simulation model development. Generally, the framework is conceived to provide a systematic approach for developing healthcare policies that help optimise the quality and cost of care.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
