DESCRIPTION:Professor John Guttag\, MIT EECS and CSAIL\nMany poor healthca
 re outcomes and the majority of wasted healthcare spending can be attribut
 ed to bad decision making. It is widely accepted that decision support sys
 tems are needed to address this issue\, and that machine learning has a ke
 y role to play in constructing such systems. However\, learning to predict
  the impact of care decisions is made challenging by the need to deal with
  complex populations being managed for complex diseases across complex car
 e networks. In this talk we will discuss the challenges that make machine 
 learning for healthcare is different from most other applications of machi
 ne learning\, and present some recent work that addresses these challenges
