Ehsan Adeli

It was so great joining you, Alexa and Leslie, on TechSequences discussing our recent work on early detection of signs of dementia using ambient intelligence.

Can AI help detect Alzheimer's or other dementia, with more time for successful intervention? Join cohosts @alexaraad.bsky.social and @lesliedaigle.bsky.social as they discuss that question with guest Ehsan Adeli ( @eadeli.bsky.social ).

Ambient Intelligence, Human Impact | Stanford HAI Health care providers struggle to catch early signals of cognitive decline. AI and computational neuroscientist Ehsan Adeli’s innovative computer vision tools may offer a solution.

Through ambient intelligence, AI and computational neuroscientist @eadeli.bsky.social’s research offers a solution for catching early signals of cognitive decline before it's too late. Learn more about this work supported by @stanfordhai.bsky.social ↘️ hai.stanford.edu/news/ambient...

Developing ICU Clinical Behavioral Atlas Using Ambient Intelligence and Computer Vision While computer vision has gained traction in medical applications, models specifically engineered for intensive care unit (ICU) activities are limited. We present Clinical Behavioral Atlas (CBA), a...

AI For Mental Health Gets Attentively Analyzed Via Exciting New Initiative At Stanford University A new initiative at the Stanford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is squarely focusing on AI for mental health. This AI4MH effort is worth knowing about.

What about a 4x accept on initial reviews?

... as it requires a deeper understanding of the physical world, embodiment, and real-world interactions beyond textual abstraction. Her perspective on how these two forms of intelligence complement each other in AI advancements was truly fascinating!

I found her insights on the comparison between spatial intelligence and language intelligence especially thought-provoking. While language intelligence has made remarkable progress with large language models, spatial intelligence presents unique challenges, as ...

It was great having @stanfordhai.bsky.social's @drfeifei.bsky.social in my class today (aimedv.stanford.edu)! We had an insightful conversation about generative AI, spatial intelligence, & healthcare, all thoughtfully wrapped around discussions of ethics, human-centered design, & real-world impact.

What about CVPR2030?

Just to clarify, sometime a disrespectful email from the AC to the reviewer can be considered as a form on punishment! 😉

Also to further clarify, I have AC/SAC roles in conferences these days, but have seen such emails sent to my colleagues!

My #NIH review panel meeting got cancelled less than 24 hours before its meeting start. So crazy! I spent days to review my batch of 8 full proposals (R01)! Poor investigators whose grant proposals were being reviewed in the panel and many other panels cancelled in the past month!

I agree with your note. I am just trying to put myself in the shoes of someone who is seeing this unfolding, from outside!!

Indeed. At this scale, we are in dire need of better tooling.

But, Christian, I want to also argue: if this is all volentary work, how do we justify punishing late/no-show reviewers? So are we saying late-reviewers are bad, but it is ok for PCs/ACs/SACs to be late because this volentary?

And if you professionalize this, there is the risk of incentivising revenue and money-making, and losing the entire community, like how some open access and predatory journals are acting now! (outsourcing is even worse, because they don't understand the value of the science being published!)

The new administration replaced #DEI hires with #DUI hires. An step forward. Well done!

Meta's chief AI scientist says US-based researchers may look abroad as Trump tries to freeze funding Meta's Yann LeCun warned there could be an exodus of US-based scientists due to Trump's funding cuts.

“LeCun, who earned his bachelor's and Ph.D. in France , said the changes in the United States should be a wake-up call for European institutions and companies. "You may have an opportunity to attract some of the best scientists in the world," he wrote.”

I keep thinking about the campaign slogan "We Are Not Going Back," which I didn't like....but it turned out to be prescient.
As in Orwellian 1984.
A tough road ahead to get us back on track. But we will.

This was the team that created recommendations on how to properly evaluate AI models to get software as a medical device approvals.

FDA, over the weekend, laid off its entire team (almost) of AI research for medical devices. Sad and scary days!

Indirect Costs at NIH . . . I wasn’t planning on spending part of a Saturday writing about cost accounting principles and the like, but NIH-world was hit with a doozy of a policy announcement on Friday night:

Great analysis of the indirect cost rate announcement by @stuartbuck.bsky.social

Sad times, we live in.

What tech company will be the first to stand up and say that gutting the NSF is bad actually?

The economic argument seems pretty clear

Less NSF --> fewer PhD students --> fewer researchers --> smaller AI tech pipeline --> slower progress --> less competitive globally

#KostasThoughts: As an AC, it’s frustrating when reviewers only see the rebuttal through the lens of their own review. Step back—consider all reviews and discussions. DON’T rush to finalize; see the FULL picture!

FAA does not have a director, thanks to Muskie, and airlines are crashing left and right!? Suddenly, the US turned into a third world country?
