Weekly Meeting

19 August 2022,

In the weekly meeting, we discussed the progress that each group has made. Most of the groups were still focused on getting to learn all of the prerequisite courses first before get to the project itself, so dr. Yayan, along with dr. Budi and dr. Mulya recommended doing the project along with the prerequisites for time effectiveness. Hearing that, our group agreed on the idea to just get into the project along with the progress that has been made of the prerequisite courses. Aside from it, as usual dr. Yayan also triggered us with the learning issue of artificial intelligence’s application in the medicine field. This week, dr. Yayan triggered us with the usage of machine learning to predict stunting in children, using data trends and analysis. Most of the students agree with it, but dr. Mulya also argues that there are some constraints regarding ethics. This made me wonder: how far can AI strive in the field of medicine?

Discussion and Project Assignment

10 August 2022,

The second weekly meeting was held by dr. Yayan who provided us with discussions regarding the documentary film AlphaGo which triggers the question about the use of AI in the medical field. It was interesting because my friend once asked me the same question about the application of AI in medicine. Hopefully, by applying to this course, I can state my argument after gaining some knowledge about machine learning. Other than that, dr. Yayan also informed us about three groups that were assigned last week. I am excited about this project because I must gain a lot of knowledge and practice about machine learning and data analysis by the end of the course. 

P.S: The discussion also triggers me on how to make use of data science as to reduce incidence of a certain a disease or outbreak. Let’s see what idea or innovation I can make up by the end of the elective program. Wait for it!
