💡 Our Role / Contribution

Bhavesh Patel will present a talk titled “What is FAIR and AI-Ready for Datasets?” as part of the session on fundamentals of model training and federated learning. This presentation will introduce the concept of AI-readiness for datasets, with a focus on the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) Principles. Bhavesh will discuss how these principles ensure technical readiness for machine reuse and demonstrate their application using the AI-READI dataset, developed as part of the NIH Bridge2AI program. This talk will highlight both conceptual foundations and practical implementation for clinical research datasets in ophthalmology.

Bhavesh Patel will also help the AI-READI team with the hands on course using the AI-READI dataset.
