1st Workshop on Data Mining for Medical Informatics: Electronic PhenotypingNov 15, 2014, Washington, DCTo be held in conjunction with AMIA 2014 Annual Symposium DMMI 2014 workshop is sponsored by AMIA Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Working Group
The 2014 Workshop on Data Mining for Medical Informatics provides an opportunity for participants to discuss state-of-the-art data mining techniques and review how such techniques can be applied to clinical data.
The main theme we identified this year is electronic phenotyping, which aims to define inclusion and exclusion criteria that algorithmically select sets of patients based on stored clinical data. This is a broad topic and there has been a lot of interests and debating on it recently. The objectives of this workshop are to:
This year's DMMI workshop will be co-located with the 2014 American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Annual Symposium.
Topics of interests include but are not limited to:
Paper Submission and Format GuidelinesWe encourage a diverse range of submissions and demonstrations from academic, healthcare organizations, and industry that addresses any of the topics listed above. Submissions can be for (1) paper / podium presentations, or (2) abstract / podium presentations.
Papers should be formatted in AMIA format styles. Manuscripts must be submitted as Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Other file formats will not be accepted.

Invited Speakers
Iain Buchan, University of Manchester
Iain Buchan is Professor in Public Health Informatics at the University of Manchester, where he founded and leads the Centre for Health Informatics, and directs the MRC Health eResearch Centre (www.herc.ac.uk) for North England. He also co-directs the UK’s national Farr Institute for Health Informatics Research (www.farrinstitute.org), which is building capacity in Health Data Science to enable large scale research over linked health data.
Iain holds qualifications in clinical medicine, pharmacology, public health and computational statistics. His research focuses on harnessing linked health data in statistically comprehensive ways to scale up and speed up scientific research and care service development in tandem. He is also interested in the use of mobile and ubiquitous technologies to generate richer longitudinal phenotypes and support preventive and self-care interventions in everyday life.
He champions interdisciplinary problem solving, for example helping clinicians, statisticians, epidemiologists, informaticians and software engineers to work together in a loop of inductive (with machine learning) and deductive (with biostatistical modelling) approaches to research questions.
Iain has also written widely used a statistical package (www.statsdirect.com) and takes a hands on approach to developing new methods and tools. He is a strong advocate of training and capacity development to grow Informatics approaches to solving public health problems.
Joshua Denny, Vanderbilt University
Josh Denny, M.D., M.S., FACMI is an associate professor in the Departments of Biomedical Informatics and Medicine. He completed an internal medicine residency as a Tinsley Harrison Scholar at Vanderbilt. His interest in medical informatics began while in medical school with the development of a concept-based curriculum database to improve medical education. Other interests include natural language processing, accurate phenotype identification from electronic medical record data, and using the electronic medical record to discover genome-phenome associations to better understand disease and drug response, including the development of the EMR-based phenome-wide association (PheWAS). Nationally, he is part of the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network and eMERGE Coordinating Center, Pharmacogenomics Research Network (PGRN), and the Pharmacogenomics of very large populations (PGPop) network. At Vanderbilt, he is also part of the PREDICT (Pharmacogenomic Resource for Enhanced Decisions in Care and Treatment) program, which prospectively genotypes patients to tailor drug response. Dr. Denny serves on several local committees and remains active in teaching medical students and clinical roles. He received the Homer Warner award in 2008 and as a co-investigator in 2009. He received the AMIA New Investigator Award in 2012 and was elected into the American College of Medical Informatics in 2013.

Patrick Ryan, PhD is the Head of Epidemiology Analytics at Janssen Research and Development, where he has leading efforts to develop and apply analysis methods to better understand the real-world effects of medical products. He is currently a collaborator in Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI), a multi-stakeholder, interdisciplinary collaborative to create open-source solutions that bring out the value of observational health data through large-scale analytics. He served as a principal investigator of the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP), a public-private partnership chaired by the Food and Drug Administration. As part of OMOP, he led methodological research to assess the appropriate use of observational health care data to identify and evaluate drug safety issues. Patrick received his undergraduate degrees in Computer Science and Operations Research at Cornell University, his Master of Engineering in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering at Cornell, and his PhD in Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Patrick has worked in various positions within the pharmaceutical industry at Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline, and also in academia at the University of Arizona Arthritis Center.
