Research Projects

Causal Machine Learning for Healthcare & Life Sciences

The Causal Machine-Learning for Healthcare and Life-Sciences team includes researchers from the fields of physics, computer science, statistics, and epidemiology. We conduct analyses for many types of healthcare-related data, including electronic health records and insurance claims data holding the medical history of over 150 million people.
More recently, our efforts are focused on causal inference, which answers the question "what is the effect of doing something?" We used this technology to create an efficient engine to identify drug-repurposing candidates and have released the base causal inference technology as open-source code. In general, we develop technology that allows the acceleration of meaningful clinical discoveries based on real-world data.

Multimodal AI for Healthcare & Life Sciences

Our research includes advanced computer vision techniques that enable the automatic extraction of diagnostically relevant features in multimodal healthcare images. We are developing machine learning tools that combine multimodal semantic image descriptions (for mammography, ultrasound and MRI) with clinical data to help estimate a correct differential diagnosis and support patient management recommendations.

Publications

IBM researchers in Israel publish a wide variety of work every year as part of their work on research projects in the lab, in collaboration with other researchers and scientists in IBM, and together with academic and industrial partners from around the world.

Researchers in our group publish works at conferences and in scientific journals such as the SPIE Medical Imaging conferences, Frontiers in Pharmacology, Radiology, and others.
