ACHIEVEMENTS
Scientific collaborator at the SODIR group of Hospital Vall d’Hebron (third hospital in the world
in lung transplant).
Scientific collaborator at the Centre for Mathematical Research in Barcelona (www.crm.cat)
Application of Algebraic Statistical Models (ASM) and the study of Quotient Bases to build
a new generative kernel for classification. This kernel provided actionable and interpretable
results for the assessment of the Risk of Death in Septic patients despite the origin of infection.
The structure of the Quotient Basis provides valuable information about the structure of the
dependencies between our input data (i.e. it has a graphical model associated). We believe
that further knowledge in the source of infection and its mechanisms will yield better results.
Showing that Maximum Likelihood inference of parameters for Regular Exponential Families
under the ASM methodology can also be addressed as the minimization a Bregman
Divergence as in standard theory. This methodology has been successfully used in the
derivation of generative kernels that are interpretable and show the dependencies between
input variables. We believe that this is a fruitful area of research completely aligned with the
proposed scope this research proposal
