Title: Participatory modelling – how can service users support development of machine learning models?

Abstract: I will familiarise participants with the background, methods and approaches to service user involvement within mental health research. We will discuss what is meant by “PPI” (patient and public involvement) and I will provide examples of service user involvement in current research studies. I will discuss traditional machine learning paradigms and how involvement activities with service users/carers can support the modelling pipeline.

Speaker: Dr Sagar Jilka, Assistant Professor at Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick
