Open Data Training Workshop: Synthetic Data & The 2023 Pediatric Sepsis Data Challenge

<strong>Objective(s):</strong> Momentum for open access to research is growing. Funding agencies and publishers are increasingly requiring researchers make their data and research outputs open and publicly available. However, this introduces many challenges, especially when managing confidential clinical data.<br /> <br />The aim of this 1 hr virtual workshop is to provide participants with knowledge about what synthetic data is, methods to create synthetic data, and the 2023 Pediatric Sepsis Data Challenge.<br /> <br />Workshop Agenda:<br /> <br />1. Introduction - Speaker: Mark Ansermino, Director, Centre for International Child Health <br /> <br />2. "Leveraging Synthetic Data for an International Data Challenge" - Speaker: Charly Huxford, Research Assistant, Centre for International Child Health <br /> <br />3. "Methods in Synthetic Data Generation." - Speaker: Vuong Nguyen, Biostatistician, Centre for International Child Health and The HIPpy Lab <br /> <br />This workshop draws on work supported by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.<br /> <br /><strong>Data Description:</strong> Presentation slides, Workshop Video, and Workshop Communication<br /> <br />Charly Huxford: Leveraging Synthetic Data for an International Data Challenge presentation and accompanying PowerPoint slides.<br /> <br />Vuong Nguyen: Methods in Synthetic Data Generation presentation and accompanying Powerpoint slides.<br /> <br />This workshop was developed as part of Dr. Ansermino's Data Champions Pilot Project supported by the <a href = "https://alliancecan.ca/en">Digital Research Alliance of Canada</a>.<br />

<strong>目标：</strong>研究开放获取的势头日益强劲。资助机构与出版商正越来越多地要求研究人员将其数据及研究成果开放并公开发布。然而，这带来了诸多挑战，尤其是在管理机密临床数据时。

本次时长1小时的虚拟研讨会旨在向参与者传授合成数据（synthetic data）的定义、合成数据的生成方法，以及2023年儿童脓毒症数据挑战赛（2023 Pediatric Sepsis Data Challenge）的相关知识。

研讨会议程：

1. 引言——主讲人：Mark Ansermino，国际儿童健康中心主任

2. “利用合成数据开展国际数据挑战赛”——主讲人：Charly Huxford，国际儿童健康中心研究助理

3. “合成数据生成方法”——主讲人：Vuong Nguyen，国际儿童健康中心及HIPpy实验室生物统计学家

本研讨会依托加拿大数字研究联盟（Digital Research Alliance of Canada）支持的工作开展。

<strong>数据描述：</strong>演示幻灯片、研讨会视频及研讨会交流材料。
