PART I – AI & Machine Learning
With the advancement of ubiquitous cloud
computing, IoT sensors, and AI, the digital
transformation revolution is well underway and
is fundamentally changing the way we work,
live, and relate to one another. At the same
time, the unprecedented cost-effectiveness to
implemented connected IoT sensors and the
analysis of the resulting abundance of data
collected have made the Digital Twin
technology possible.
The U.S. Taiwan High-Tech Forum (UTHF) 2018
event is designed to bring the brightest minds
from both the high-tech communities of Taiwan
and Silicon Valley to explore whether we are at
a turning point of adopting these emerging
technology trends in our everyday life.

The concept of the Digital Twin dates back to 2002 when Dr. Grieves at University of Michigan gave a presentation called “Conceptual Ideal for PLM” for the formation of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) center. In 2017, Digital Twin Technology is named by Gartner Inc. as one among the top 10 strategic technology trends.
In this year’s UTHF program theme, we introduce how the digital twin technology will further digital transformation driven by continued innovation in the fields of IoT, IIoT, AI, etc., and its impact to industries.
But what is a digital twin?
Digital twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets (physical twin), processes, people, places, systems and devices that can be used for various purposes. The digital representation provides both the elements and the dynamics of how an Internet of things device operates and lives throughout its life cycle. -- Wikipedia
Digital twin is the phrase used to describe a
computerized (or digital) version of a physical asset and/or process. The digital twin contains one or more sensors that collects data to represent real-time information about the physical asset. – webopedia
The digital twin is the virtual representation of a physical object or system across its life-cycle. It uses real-time data and other sources to enable learning, reasoning, and dynamically recalibrating for improved decision making. - IBM
With digital twin technology, engineers are empowered to better understand not only how products are performing, but how to more accurately predicting the current state and future of physical assets by analyzing their digital counter parts. Thanks to the IoT sensors, computing power, data storage, etc., that have become cost effective to implement and acquire. Our ever-improving abilities to collect, store, and analyze the data from the connected IoT sensors, combined with machine learning, enable the digital twin technology and a fast increasing list of applicable use cases. For example, one of the earliest use case of digital twin by NASA was to troubleshooting far away equipment.
Here are examples of sectors where digital twin technology has been applied: • Industrial IoT • Manufacturing • Healthcare • Automotive
How to get started with the digital twin? What will be the first step? We hope the year’s UTHF program will arouse your interest to explore your own journey.

Abstract: We have all heard statistics such as 80%,
90% or 95% of Startups FAIL. However,
the success stories coming out of the top
Accelerators have inspired the creation
of a whole new industry. The
Incubator/Accelerator industry was
created to mimic the successes of
Y-Combinator. Over the past few years
over 7,500 Accelerators have sprung up
around the world… most of them FAIL.
A recent article in the Harvard Business News
stated that it is harder to get into one of the
top Accelerators than the top University in
the world… Why is that?... What “Magic Bullet”
do these Accelerators have?
Let’s talk “Magic Bullet”!!!
Biography:My corporate career included a 12-year stint at
Ernst & Young and then KPMG consulting. My
ability to identify & solve problems was well
utilised in the areas of Strategy, Risk and

Abstract: Governments throughout history have
always bent technology to their
advantage. Today, nation states have
built staggering surveillance systems,
and continue to exert more control
over their citizens. Can decentralized
networks like bitcoin help strengthen
civil liberties and challenge this
consolidation of power? HRF’s Alex
Gladstein provides a tour of how
technology is being used against us, and
shows how it just might be the one thing
that can save our privacy and freedom.

Semantic Understanding of Google Street View Imagery
Abstract: Modern biomedical sciences are
data-driven, and depend on many reliable
databases of biomedical knowledge, or
simply "knowledge bases". Knowledge
bases are particularly important for
precision medicine, where the idea is to
treat patients with the same condition
differently according to their genetic
profiles. Because the number of possible
genetic profiles is huge, knowledge bases
are essential for clinicians to look up what
treatment is known to be effective for
their patients. Biomedical Text Mining
and Natural Language Processing (NLP) have
been touted as the solution to extract the
knowledge from research publications and
automatically create the knowledge bases to
meet the needs. However, it is still far from
practical to fully automate the curation. In this
talk, I will present a hybrid human-AI solution
with web annotation and its use by ClinGen
for the curation for ClinVar, a widely used
knowledge base of disease-gene associations..

Modeling Health Care for the Internet of Things
Abstract: The National Quality Form model for
coordination of care provides an
ecosystem framework focused on
patients and priorities of value based
care. Patient characteristics derived from
multiple sources are rendered into
workflows with accountable entities,
anticipated outcomes and event
managers. Model driven, no-code
platforms enable curation by clinical
experts and configuration by technology
teams. Democratized data inputs and
outputs from direct clinical care can be
seamlessly repurposed for process
improvement, care analytics,
reimbursement and other functions. Medical
knowledge management innovation will
involve library repositories and technical
choreography. Big data methods for
population management must be
accompanied by small data strategies for
individual patient planning and ongoing care.
Complexity theory has implications.
Predictive analytics have limited value for
individuals, while event detection and
individualized responses are impactful.
Healthcare is ripe for disruption and filled
with opportunities for entrepreneurs and
their partners in the innovation ecosystem.

Abstract: We live in an age where a handful of top
Accelerators have produced Innovative
Companies who’s combined revenues
would put them in the top 10 biggest
economies of the world. And they have
done this over the course of a single
decade.
Major corporates openly state that you
must “Innovate or Die”. World leaders
talk of the Innovation Age. If we assume
that the Innovation Age is upon us we can also
assume that our future successes or failures
will depend on the health and strength of the
Global Innovation Ecosystem.
There is a major focus as well as resources
being allocated to growing Innovation,
however the vast majority of over 7,500
Incubators/Accelerators still fail. Let’s discuss
why!!
Biography:My corporate career included a 12-year stint at
Ernst & Young and then KPMG consulting. My
ability to identify & solve problems was well
utilised in the areas of Strategy, Risk and
Process related work. These same skills have
allowed me to enjoy the past 25 years working in
the Innovation & Startup space, where I work
with Investors, Innovators and other
stakeholders within the Innovation Ecosystem
around the world
