What if a synthetic child patient could help us explore leukemia treatment scenarios before reaching the clinic? 🧬🤖

This is the core idea behind STING DSS.

I am excited to announce that the STING Decision Support System is now live on the Web! 🚀🌐

Developed in my TÜBİTAK 1001 project, STING focuses on one of the most challenging and meaningful intersections of today’s research:

Childhood acute leukemia, drug repositioning, digital twins, synthetic patients, and explainable artificial intelligence.

STING DSS is designed as a browser-based AI decision-support research platform for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It brings together multiple AI/ML modules into a sequential and interactive pipeline:

🧠 Bi-LSTM-based drug repositioning
💊 Candidate drug assessment, including Copanlisib and Novobiocin
🩸 Patient-specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic ODE simulations
⚙️ Genetic algorithm-based dose optimisation
🌐 GNN-driven digital twin prediction
🔍 Explainable AI with SHAP, permutation importance, counterfactual explanations, and GEMEX
🧬 CTGAN-based synthetic patient cohort generation
📊 5-class pediatric ALL risk stratification: LR / SR / IR / HR / VHR

But beyond the technical pipeline, the real purpose is bigger:

Can we make biomedical AI research more accessible, interactive, reproducible, and ethically scalable?

Can synthetic patients help researchers explore treatment dynamics before moving toward more sensitive real-world settings?

Can digital twins and AI-based simulations support the future of precision medicine in pediatric oncology?

STING DSS is one step toward answering these questions. ✨

🎥 In the video below, you can see the system in action.

We are also opening a participation channel for researchers and students who would like to receive an account and contribute to the STING ecosystem.

📝 Participation Form: https://t.co/XmrSOrEknt

If you are working on AI in healthcare, leukemia research, digital twins, synthetic patient modeling, explainable AI, drug repositioning, computational biology, or clinical decision support systems, I would be very happy to connect and hear your thoughts. 🌟

Your feedback, ideas, and collaborations can help shape the next steps of STING.

[Prof. Dr. Utku KÖSE @u_kose]

🚀 Introducing GEMEX (Geodesic Entropic Manifold Explainability) — a novel approach to Explainable AI (XAI) grounded in Riemannian Information Geometry! (Turkish below 🇹🇷👇)

🔍 What makes GEMEX different?
GEMEX treats AI models not just as black boxes, but as geometric structures — navigating their internal behavior through:
✨ Fisher Information Matrix (FIM)
✨ Geodesic Sensitivity Fields (GSF)
✨ PTI Holonomy (explanation dynamics over loops)
✨ Ricci Scalar curvature (RST)
✨ Feature Attribution Scores (FAS)
✨ Bias & Trust Decomposition (BTD)

📐 In simple terms:
GEMEX helps us understand how model decisions flow and evolve over a curved information space — not just static importance scores, but dynamic, geometry-aware explanations.

💡 Why does this matter?
Because next-generation AI systems — especially in healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems — require:
✔ Trust
✔ Transparency
✔ Robustness

⚙️ Check GEMEX pages:
🔗 GitHub: https://t.co/geYa7LNmfs
📦 PyPI: https://t.co/rMtbo99777

👉 Install easily with:
pip install gemex

Your feedback, contributions, and ideas are all welcome! 😎 🙌

🇹🇷 Türkçe (Turkish below):
🚀 GEMEX (Geodesic Entropic Manifold Explainability) adlı yeni Açıklanabilir Yapay Zeka (XAI) yöntemimi sunmaktan mutluluk duyuyorum!

🔍 GEMEX'in sunduğu farklılıklar neler?
GEMEX, yapay zeka modellerini sadece bir “kara kutu” olarak görmek yerine, onları geometrik bir yapı olarak ele alır ve model davranışlarını şu kavramlar üzerinden analiz eder:
✨ Fisher Information Matrix
✨ Geodesic Sensitivity Field
✨ PTI Holonomy
✨ Ricci Scalar
✨ Feature Attribution Score
✨ Bias & Trust Decomposition

📐 Basitçe söylemek gerekirse:
GEMEX, modelin kararlarını sadece “hangi özellik önemli?” sorusuyla değil, kararların manifold üzerindeki geometrik akışıyla açıklar.

💡 Bu neden önemli?
Çünkü özellikle sağlık, finans ve otonom sistemler gibi alanlarda:
✔ Güvenilir
✔ Şeffaf
✔ Sağlam AI sistemlerine ihtiyaç var

⚙️ GEMEX sayfaları:

[ENG] I am honored to be invited to teach during the Spring 2026 term at Universidad Panamericana, Mexico! 🇲🇽👏 🦾

🎓 Starting March 9, 2026, I will be delivering a course covering Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in healthcare with trust, transparency, and responsible aspects through theory and practice. 🦾

Bringing together students from engineering, health sciences, and business, this technology-enhanced course will explore how AI systems can be designed, evaluated, and deployed in ways that are trustworthy, transparent, and accountable.

Throughout the term, we will focus on:
🔹 Foundations of trustworthy AI and transparency
🔹 Python-based hands-on implementations
🔹 Explainability and model interpretability techniques
🔹 Integrating XAI into real healthcare workflows
🔹 Ethics, regulation, and governance in health AI

As AI becomes deeply embedded in healthcare systems, trust and accountability are no longer optional — they are essential. Addressing this important topic within an interdisciplinary learning environment will be crucial for the growing field of human-AI collaboration. 😎 🌍

[TR] 2026 Bahar dönemi kapsamında, Meksika’daki Universidad Panamericana’da ders vereceğim. 🇲🇽👏 🦾

9 Mart 2026 itibariyle başlayacak ders sürecinde sağlık alanı özelinde Açıklanabilir Yapay Zekâ (XAI) mekanizmalarını teoriden pratiğe; güven, şeffaflık ve sorumluluk boyutlarıyla ele alacağım.

Mühendislik, sağlık bilimleri ve işletme alanlarından öğrencileri bir araya getiren bu teknoloji destekli derste, yapay zekâ sistemlerinin güvenilir, şeffaf ve hesap verebilir biçimde nasıl tasarlanıp uygulanabileceğini irdeleyeceğiz.

Dönem boyunca odaklanacağımız başlıca konular:
🔹 Güvenilir yapay zekâ ve şeffaflık temelleri
🔹 Python tabanlı uygulamalı çalışmalar
🔹 Açıklanabilirlik ve model yorumlanabilirliği
🔹 XAI’nin gerçek sağlık iş akışlarına entegrasyonu
🔹 Etik, regülasyon ve yönetişim boyutu

Sağlıkta yapay zekâ uygulamaları yaygınlaşırken, güven ve hesap verebilirlik performans kadar kritik hale geliyor. Disiplinler arası öğrenme ortamında bu önemli konu kapsamını ele almak yükselen insan-yapay zeka işbirliği açısından önemli olacak 😎 🌍
