DESCRIPTION:From the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada website:\n\nArtifici
 al intelligence tools for population-based brain metastasis surveillance p
 ost cancer diagnosis \n\nWhile brain metastasis (BM) exceeds primary brain
  tumours and comprises the majority workload in neuro-oncology\, there is 
 a lack of population-based estimate of BM incidence rate post cancer diagn
 osis. In our recent study\, we developed and validated artificial intellig
 ence tools\, specifically natural language processing algorithms (NLP) bas
 ed on the BioBERT model\, to label radiology reports for BM presence. The 
 NLP algorithms were used to predict the BM labels in a population-based ca
 ncer cohort in Alberta who were diagnosed between 2012 and 2020 with follo
 w up till 2022. We then estimated the cumulative incidence rate during a 1
 0-year time frame post-diagnosis. In this webinar\, I will present the pro
 cess of training and testing of our NLP algorithms and their prediction pe
 rformance. The resulting incidence rate estimates obtained by applying our
  NLP algorithms will be discussed. \n\nSpeaker bio:\n\nDr. Yuan\, professo
 r at the University of Alberta’s School of Public Health (2011- present) r
 eceived an undergraduate degree from the Nanjing University\, China in 199
 6\, followed by a MSc. from the Michigan State University\, USA\, and a MM
 ath in Biostatistics & a PhD in Statistics both from the University of Wat
 erloo\, Canada in 2008.\n\nDr. Yuan’s academic career focuses on cancer re
 search. She led and collaborated in projects ranging from prevention\, sur
 veillance\, diagnostic and screening\, health service and survivorship wit
 h over 70 publications\, of which fifteen are on the brain tumours surveil
 lance in Canada. A recipient of the Early Career Award from the Canadian I
 nstitute of Cancer Research in 2017\, Dr. Yuan received major research gra
 nts\, including Canadian cancer society\, Canadian Institutes of Health Re
 search\, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and N
 ational institutes of Health (US).\n
