Title: Emergency Supply Chain Planning using Bayesian Statistical Reasoning
Abstract
Uncertainty in the supply chain processes and the changes in the business models are here to stay. Businesses face challenges in managing accurate forecasting to order the right stock at the optimal level at the best time for customers. Traditional supply chain models cannot estimate such risks or predict the right amount of inventory to tackle disastrous changes. We propose a probability-based model to capture the risks occurrences in the supply chain and their impacts. We employ statistical reasoning to estimate the initial model parameters and update the parameters based on the most recent information using the Bayesian procedure. The model would benefit various supply chain agents, businesses, and humanitarian agencies to support pre-planning and resource allocations for emergency needs.

Abstract
Affective computing is that branch of computing which deals with the study of emotions. The study of human emotions which includes identifying, construing and simulating them makes the core concept behind affective computing. Affective computing deals with developing such machine or computer which is not only able to recognize, interpret and process emotions but also able to make decisions according to the situation. mHealth (mobile phone based healthcare) is a reality as portable devices (cell phones, smart phones, or PDAs), sensors, and RFIDs have become a part of our everyday lives. In Ubicomp lab, we have been using affective computing in mHealth projects. In the first project, we use facial expression and energy expenditure of a person to classify a person’s affective state by continuously recording accelerometer data for energy and camera image for facial expression. In the second project, we design, develop and evaluate a mobile-based intervention designed with the aim of teaching social skills to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). We also aim to study the anxiety pattern of children with ASDs during a social interaction intervention. In the third project, we validate the idea of using smart phone cameras for pain assessment of breast cancer patients in a developing country. In this talk, we discuss AI based affective computing in the above mHealth projects.
