<p class="author">Dr Aida Mehonic, on The Alan Turing Institute</p>
 +
<p>(In English) Here at The Alan Turing Institute, we’re interested in how data trusts could help to shape the future artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem. At present, lots of well-intentioned initiatives to create machine learning algorithms fail because of the lack of training datasets, and this is true both in the private and the public sector. A data trust could enable safe and secure data sharing that would allow the UK to develop and deploy AI systems to benefit society and the economy.</p>

<p>(In English) Data and analytics are the linchpin of digital transformation, yet culture is the hardest part. Data literacy is the missing link, and the key to cracking the culture code. We believe that the foundation of nurturing a data literate workforce (from executives, to data and analytics professionals, to your front-line associates) is fostering a shared language around the use of data, or Information as a Second Language® (ISL).  And that cracking the culture code starts with making this language personal.</p>

Line 445: Line 480:  
<p>(In Engish) We live in a world of Big Data &#8212; and it's getting bigger every day. Virtually every choice we make hinges on how someone generates data . . . and how someone else interprets it &#8212; whether we realize it or not. The problem is, the more data we have, the more difficult it is to interpret it. From world leaders to average citizens, everyone is prone to making critical decisions based on poor data interpretations. <i>Numbersense</i> gives you the insight into how Big Data interpretation works &#8212; and how it too often doesn't work. You won't come away with the skills of a professional statistician, but you will have a keen understanding of the data traps even the best statisticians can fall into, and you'll trust the mental alarm that goes off in your head when something just doesn't seem to add up.</p>

<p>(In English) Quantitative bioimaging is a broad interdisciplinary field that exploits tools from biology, chemistry, optics, and statistical data analysis for the design and implementation of investigations of biological processes. Instead of adopting the traditional approach of focusing on just one of the component disciplines, this textbook provides a unique introduction to quantitative bioimaging that presents all of the disciplines in an integrated manner. The wide range of topics covered include basic concepts in molecular and cellular biology, relevant aspects of antibody technology, instrumentation and experimental design in fluorescence microscopy, introductory geometrical optics and diffraction theory, and parameter estimation and information theory for the analysis of stochastic data.</p>
