Georgia Tech Professional Education

Join Christopher Clanton, MOSH, CSP, CRIS, tomorrow, Nov. 12 at 12 p.m. ET, for a discussion on changing the psychology of safety through language. Clanton — Corporate Manager of Field Safety at Rollins Inc., PMOSH lecturer, and program alumnus — brings more than five years of experience as a safety professional to the conversation exploring how small but powerful language changes can reshape workplace safety culture.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools have applications across many industries, including marketing and medicine. Yanni Jin, a seasoned medical management professional in China, explained how NLP-enabled name badges are being used to record patient/practitioner conversations and analyze them for keywords, red flags, and changes in emotions that could impact provider decision-making and lead to better care. This conversation was part of an OMS Analytics conference panel — featuring Michael Varda, Jin, and Joe Domaleski, MBA — discussing the use of NLP tools for modern analysts.

Advances in AI/Machine Learning (ML) are far outpacing privacy considerations and proper data governance. On the first day of the inaugural OMS Analytics conference, Instructional Associate Jake Gord shared insights into the current misalignment of consumer protections and organizational responsibilities during a privacy panel, which also featured Professor DeBrae Kennedy-Mayo and Instructional Associate Hal Overman. AI/ML companies must be proactive in implementing a privacy-by-design approach or risk losing consumer confidence and being in the crosshairs of regulatory bodies.

The inaugural OMS Analytics Conference kicks off tomorrow (Nov. 6) at 10 a.m. ET. 📊 This virtual, two-day event is open to all OMS Analytics and Georgia Tech Master's in Analytics students and alumni and brings together an incredible lineup of speakers — including instructors, advisory board members, Student Services staff, and current and former students like Joe Depa, DeBrae Kennedy-Mayo, Ryan Cooper, Heather Arentson, Joe Domaleski, Megan R. Elrath, Abbey Hale, M.S., Jennifer Wooley, and more! Across 12 hours of data science and analytics knowledge sharing, the conference will feature three keynotes, words from the Georgia Tech College of Lifetime Learning Learning's dean, William Gaudelli, and opportunities to connect with the analytics community. Registration is free, and the link has been emailed to all OMS Analytics and MSA students and alumni via your Georgia Tech email.
