Risk and decision models and predictive analytics have long been cornerstones for advancement of business analytics in industrial, government, and military applications. In particular, multi-source data system modeling and big dataanalytics and technologies play an increasingly important role in modern business enterprise. Many problems arising in these domains can be formulated into mathematical models and can be analyzed using sophisticated optimization, decision analysis, and computational techniques. In this talk, we will share some of our successes in healthcare, defense, and service sector applications through innovation in predictive and big dataanalytics through the modeling and computational advances in integer programming. Specifically, the first model is a discrete support vector machine predictive model that incorporates comprehensive factors related to demographics and socioeconomic status, clinical and hospital resources, operations and utilization, and patient complaints and risk factors for global prediction of readmission and treatment outcome of patients. The second model describes an outcome-driven personalized treatment planning model for cancer patients.

This paper reports our recent work on dimensionality reduction of synchrophasor data and subsequent engineering analysis of the results. Principal component analysis (PCA) based dimensionality reduction is first applied to explore the underlying dimensionality of power systems from the data of massively deployed PMUs. Then the physical interpretations are provided with the power engineering insights: spatial interpretation suggests the coherency of generator groups;temporal analysis indicates the time-scale hierarchy of power system operations. Numerical examples using both synthetic and realistic PMU data are conducted to illustrate the potential value of combining PMU data-driven and physics-based analytics in real-time grid operations.

In this study we consider the problem of how to derive insight from medical records to define and improve healthcare services. As noted in many guidelines, risk factors are important to determining the care plan of chronic disease patients, e.g., pre-diabetic or diabetic patients who have started on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) control medications. Whereas the traditional management of chronic disease relies on a predetermined set of risk factors, without regard to patient-specific status, literature and recently released guidelines have suggested a less-prescriptive approach that allows flexibility in disease management plans to account for patient-centric information shown in medical records. However, methods of systematically summarizing medical records into risk factors have not been evaluated to support such a patient-centric focus in healthcare services. In this study, we evaluated automatic methods that can identify risk factors important for classifying Diabetic patients at risk of worsen disease progression. In particular, we used the prescription of cardiovascular disease (CVD) medication as the indicator of CVD co-morbidity development in Diabetic patients. We evaluated the summaries obtained with different sources of health information on the risk stratification task and examined the quality of the generated summaries using various proposed intrinsic metrics. In addition, we evaluated to what extent we can reduce the whole medical records into a small set of risk factors. The evaluation illustrates the potential of risk factor summarization and hints on how it can be used to enable practitioners in care planning and to support complex follow-up services at both the point of care and the extended care settings.

Social media have experienced a spectacular rise in popularity, attracting hundreds of millions of users and generating unprecedented amount of content that increasingly contain location and place information. Collectively, the massive location information in these data provides an excellent opportunity to better understand many geographic phenomena and geospatial dynamics in a timely fashion. Recent studies capitalizing on social networking and media data show significant societal impacts in many areas including prediction of stock market and infectious disease surveillance. However, because location-based social media data are often massive, generated dynamically, and unstructured, significant computation, data, and visualization challenges need to be resolved. This research aims to demonstrate the use of massive social media data to interactively analyze spatiotemporal events across spatial and temporal scales, by establishing a data-driven framework using cyberGISgeographic information systems (GIS) based on advanced cyberinfrastructureto resolve aforementioned challenges. Specifically, FluMapperan application on the CyberGIS Gatewayis employed as a case study to demonstrate the data-driven framework and seamless integration of massive location-based social media data and spatial analytical services within the online problem solving environment of the Gateway. FluMapper presents integrated results from two complementary spatial analyses: (i) an interactive exploration of spatial distribution of flu risk and (ii) dynamic mapping of movement patterns, across multiple spatial, and temporal scales. The seamless integration of these two analyses through the framework illustrates the potential of cyberGIS to resolve the compute and data challenges of analyzing near real-time social media data in an efficient and scalable manner and to support interactive visualization.

Open innovation breaks the traditional pattern for developing new innovation leading to new business and the activities toward it. Consequently, new requirements are posed to innovation measurement. Demola is an open innovation platform that takes real-life problems from companies and other organizations and puts together and facilitates projects where students from different universities come together to solve the problems. This paper describes a set of network visualizations and animations that were developed in co-creation with the Demola operators to make visible the activity that Demola has initiated. Moreover, the development process used to design the visualizations and the technical process that was applied are described and discussed. We claim that static network visualizations and animations of an open innovation platform development are useful in presenting, describing, marketing and selling the platform for existing and new stakeholders. Our experience shows that in order to develop visualizations and animations that meet the requirements set by the different stakeholders, an iterative and incremental development process is needed. Moreover, we claim that taking a data-driven approach to visualization development is a key enabler in supporting the development.

Personalized wellness decision support has gained significant attention, owing to the shift to a patient-centric paradigm in healthcare domains, and the consequent availability of a wealth of patient-related data. Despite the success of data-driven analytics in improving practice outcome, there is a gap towards their deployment in guideline-based practice. In this paper we report on findings related to computer-supported guideline refinement, which maps a patient's guideline requirements to personalized recommendations that suit the patient's current context. In particular, we present a novel data-driven personalization framework, casting the mapping task as a statistical decision problem in search of a solution to maximize expected utility. The proposed framework is well suited to produce personalized recommendations based on not only clinical factors but contextual factors that reflect individual differences in non-clinical settings. We then describe its implementation within the guideline-based clinical decision support system and discuss opportunities and challenges looking forward.
