Data Scientist | Psychiatrist
All about data science, AI, and machine learning.
In earlier posts over 5 years ago, I detailed my journey into data science, which started with formal education and training, where I enrolled in a Masters of Science (MSc) program to obtain a graduate degree in Data Science. During my time as an MSc student, I struggled in the computer science courses, as my…
In a previous article, I wrote about three psychiatric uses cases that can be utilized now for AI applications. One of those use cases, on AI and Patient Similarity, I will now expand upon and write more about it in this article. As you recall from the previous article on Patient Similarity, a doctor usually…
I have been a speaker at two major psychiatry conferences last year in Washington DC and Amelia Island FL, on the topic of AI and Big Data in psychiatry (see slide presentation below). What I found in speaking with conference attendees is that the psychiatrists and behavioral health researchers found it difficult to make the…
Here we are again, with the annual Blue Chip Ratio, which is the most important indicator of who will win the National Championship in college football. As you see in Figure 1 above, only 14 teams made it past the 50% mark, which historically gives you the winner of the National Championship. Once again, this…
I’m a newly-minted data scientist, with my MSc in computing and data analytics degree earned a couple of days ago. Yet, I often hear from other senior data scientists that everyone who does not have their credentials and years of experience are to be classified as “fake” data scientists. Yet these same senior data scientists…
Nowadays, many people have multiple email platforms, and it is difficult to keep up with them all. I recently added a company email on G Suite, and wanted to sync this with my personal gmail account, which houses all my emails, calendar appointments, and contacts. With all these email platforms, I will show you how…
Nowadays, it is redundant and unwieldy to include www in your website address, as most websites are going without www in their URL, also known as the naked domain or non-www. It just looks and sounds more concise and clean to just remove the www entirely from the website address. I build dynamic websites on…
I recently transitioned my website, DepressionBoss.com, from HTTP to HTTPS. When I completed that migration to a more secure website, all my social media counts were reset to zero! When migrating from HTTP to HTTPS, the migrated website is considered a new URL, and therefore all the HTTP social media counts are not migrated over…
Here is an interactive dashboard I built, which helps people in Nova Scotia to determine their exposure to air pollutants, with just one click. This dashboard makes use of the Nova Scotia Open Data Portal, from which the air pollution datasets were obtained. A data warehouse in Oracle was built to extract, transform, and load…
Here is an app I built, which helps patients in Nova Scotia to determine their real wait times for surgical procedures, with just one click. The app makes use of the Nova Scotia Open Data Portal, from which the surgical wait times dataset was obtained. Multiple linear regression was utilized to build the prediction model…
