2015年5月29日上午，台湾大学12BET魏志平教授应邀访问了12BET管理与经济学院，并作了题为“Big Data Analytics for Health Informatics: Detecting Adverse Drug Events from Electronic Health Records”的学术报告，报告由管理与经济学院颜志军教授主持。
   
    药品在上市前，会经过严格的测试和临床实验，然而由于实验人数和时间限制等因素，上市后的药品可能存在未被发现的副作用，造成健康隐患。传统的药物副作用发现多使用自发呈报系统中的数据，存在漏报、重复报告等问题，魏志平教授的研究基于台湾全民健康保险研究资料库（NHIRD）中的抽样数据，以4种疾病作为检测目标，构建Drug-Outcome序列，以Micromedex数据库为依据标注信号，评估结果表明这种有监督学习方法优于传统方法（RRR，PRR，ROR和BCPNN），魏志平教授还提出了未来可能的进一步研究方向，并简单介绍了关于发现药品新用途的另一项研究工作。报告完成后，魏志平教授与在座师生就感兴趣的相关研究问题进行了深入的探讨。
