Laura Dumont
I have worked in the healthcare industry for more than 10 years, currently a senior machine learning at Owkin. Committed to open source and open science principles, I aspire to leverage Python and data science for social good, focusing on health, inclusion, and projects that make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
Session
With a focus on healthcare applications where accuracy is non negotiable, this talk highlights challenges and delivers practical insights on building AI agents which query complex biological and scientific data to answer sophisticated questions. Drawing from our experience developing Owkin-K Navigator, a free-to-use AI co-pilot for biological research, I'll share hard-won lessons about combining natural language processing with SQL querying and vector database retrieval to navigate large biomedical knowledge sources, addressing challenges of preventing hallucinations and ensuring proper source attribution.
This session is ideal for data scientists, ML engineers, and anyone interested in applying python and LLM ecosystem to the healthcare domain.
