Research

More than 35 years of experience as an AI researcher in areas such as intelligent systems, computer-based reasoning, decision support systems, model-based reasoning and diagnosis, Bayesian networks, machine learning, eHealth. At the moment most of my research is on probabilistic graphical models, statistical machine learning, and clinical statistical model building. I also have an interest in model-based reasoning and probabilistic logic also applied to other areas than medicine.
