Joydeep Ghosh, along with his collaborators and students, were awarded the 2017 Distinguished Clinical Research Informatics Paper Award at the American Medical Informatics Association Joint Summits on Translational Sciences, held March 27-30 in San Francisco California. The award recognizes the paper “PheKnow-Cloud: A Tool of Evaluating High-Throughput Phenotype Candidates Using Online Medical Literature.” The paper provides a machine learning/A.I. platform for validating potential phenotypes extracted from large clinical datasets, drawing from the vast medical literature that is publically available. The paper was co-authored by Jette Henderson (UT Austin), Ryan Bridges (UT Alum, Epic Systems), Joyce Ho (UT Alumna, Emory University), and Byron Wallace (Northeastern University). Both Bridges and Ho were supervised by professor Ghosh while they were completing their BS and PhD studies at Texas ECE, respectively, and Henderson is a current PhD student in his research group.
