Everything You Need to Know About Qualtrics but Did Not Know to Ask

Qualtrics is a powerful platform for forms and surveys; it is free to all CU faculty and staff upon request to OIT. The key features that set Qualtrics apart are complex skip logic and piping data to and from external databases. Other features include visual configurability, versioning, respondent mail merge, respondent tracking/reminders, confirmation emails, as well as numerous question formats.

Technology, Humans, and Healthcare

Presenting three topics related to human-centered design in a clinical environ-ment. The first topic is the importance of delivering usable guidelines that clinicians can understand and apply in their practice. The second topic is the importance of involving clinicians in the user-centered design process. The third topic is the importance of working with individual clinical experts.

Three cool projects, three key ideas

In this talk, I will pick three projects from our group and use them as the backdrop to describe three key ideas in supervised machine learning (ML): i) Learning patterns in large molecular networks, ii) Turning text into numbers, and iii) Predicting things about biological samples based on the data collected from them. I will end with a discussion of the importance of being really careful in evaluating the performance of ML models.
