ChatGPT as a combined OCR and key-value extractor – Nemi Pelgrom, Industry PhD student at Fortnox

This study presents the results of an experiment of using the AI chatbot chatGPT as a combined OCR and key-value extractor. The dataset used consisted of 1000 real invoices and 500 images of real receipts from a wide variety of Swedish market sectors. This tool demonstrated an accuracy rate of 99.8% in extracting key financial data from invoices, and 100% accuracy from images of receipts, showcasing its potential as a one-stop solution for financial document processing.

Data-Driven Approach Towards Objective Evaluation of the Gravel Road Condition – Keegan Mbiyana, PhD-student in Mechanical Engineering

Visual windshield surveys are the primary method for assessing the condition of gravel roads, but they can be prone to human judgment errors and can be time-consuming. There is a need to shift to an objective assessment of the condition of gravel roads by leveraging advances in sensor technology and data processing techniques for efficiency and effectiveness. This seminar will present work conducted in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in objectively assessing the gravel road condition to improve maintenance planning and decision-making. The results from the field experiments on three gravel roads with different condition classes and the vehicle vibration response collected using Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric (IEPE) and smartphone accelerometers to verify a proposed rule-based approach will be presented. The challenge of regular monitoring is discussed, considering the remote location of gravel roads. Regular condition monitoring and data collection would require collecting and storing huge amounts of data. Therefore, as part of future work, the seminar will briefly introduce an adaptive sampling technique to reduce redundant or unnecessary data before storage.

Using AI in eHealth Research, Alisa Lincke
In this seminar, Dr. Alisa Lincke, Senior Lecturer at Linnaeus University, will share her research experience in eHealth over the past three years, conducted in collaboration with Kalmar eHealth Institute, Stockholm University, Uppsala University, Karolinska, and others. Three seed research projects will describe the process starting from writing seed application, ethical approval, data extraction, data analysis, and research outcome. You will get insights about the research process and challenges in eHealth research.

Emerging Technologies for Preventive Healthcare, Hemant Ghayvat
In the rapidly evolving world of healthcare, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) stands at the forefront of innovation, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance patient care and outcomes. Our seminar delves into the transformative potential of these technologies in addressing some of the most pressing healthcare challenges, particularly in elderly care, mental health, and cardiac care. Through expert-led discussions, we will explore how AI’s predictive analytics can revolutionize elderly care by monitoring and managing chronic conditions, ensuring timely interventions, and promoting independent living. Similarly, in mental health, AI’s data-driven insights can personalize treatment plans and provide support, while IoT devices offer real-time monitoring and management solutions. For cardiac care, the combination of AI and IoT promises to improve diagnostics, treatment efficacy, and continuous patient monitoring, significantly reducing the risk of adverse events. Join us as we uncover the synergistic power of AI and IoT in crafting the future of healthcare, where technology empowers care providers to offer more precise, effective, and compassionate care across these critical areas.
