Title: Data and AI Markets in a Nutshell
Abstract:
Data and AI model services, often regarded as the driving force of the digital and AI economy, are powering a wide range of applications and creating significant business opportunities. Data and AI model service pipelines are frequently enabled by data and AI markets, yet the landscape of these markets remains relatively unfamiliar to many professionals in data science, machine learning, and AI. This tutorial provides an intuitive, concept-driven, and examplebased introduction to this emerging domain. Through practical examples, we will explore the motivations, fundamental principles, key techniques, major challenges, and research and development opportunities in data and AI markets. The tutorial will cover core concepts, market models, and operational mechanisms—such as privacy, security, and deployment—as well as market administration, offering a comprehensive foundation for understanding and advancing this transformative field.

Title: AI for Women’s Health: Framework and Focus Areas
Abstract:
AI for women’s health is a growing challenge that focuses on integrating and adopting AI across key aspects of women’s health, with the goal of practical implementation in everyday clinical practice. There have been significant delays in finding innovative ways to address prevalent and burdensome health issues that disproportionately affect women throughout their life courses. This study presents our initial development, including a comprehensive framework, methodology, and focus areas for the application of advanced AI, particularly machine learning, in women’s health. It emphasizes personalized healthcare for women through genomic association analysis and early-stage prediction for key women’s health issues, such as fertility, pregnancy, breast cancer, and postmenopausal concerns, in a genetics-informed and individually tailored manner. The research aims to provide societal benefits, improve the efficiency of women’s health systems, and advance personalized medicine.
