Yash Gad’s Post

As someone that has worked with teams in K-12 and higher ed for many years, I have seen the increasing need for better understanding of the needs of stakeholders such as prospective and current students, faculty, alumni, and donors. In response to the frequent asks we get around research, insights, AI, and ranking/reputation, we have launched #AlignEd, with Evan Gallagher at the helm. We are excited to continue to engage with colleges and universities nationwide to identify their blind spots, help them gain a better understanding of the topics and issues that matter most to each constituent, and even explore how #AI and Custom Large Language Models (#CLMs) can impact the college experience for students. To any of my colleagues who we have partnered with before in this space, please let me or my team know if you would like a walkthrough of these new services.

What better opportunity for the inaugural post of my newsletter than the game changing announcement from Apple and Open AI. It generated a lot of great discussion with my esteemed colleague David Armano, who wrote a related piece for his newsletter (https://lnkd.in/g7FAHJVs). I welcome any discussions related to such an important topic, and look forward to more writing from my vantage leading Ringer Sciences

I want to thanks everyone in my network that has so generously donated to my #VisionariesoftheYear campaign for the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am trying to make one final push this long weekend for donations with a goal of raising an additional $10,000 this weekend. If you or someone you know has been affected by cancer like my family has, and you want to help us directly support patients through this wonderful organization, please visit my donation page https://lnkd.in/gY2W4Pfn All contributions are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. For more information on LLS, visit www.LLS.org. #LLS #LeukemiaLymphoma #bloodcancer #fundraising #fightagainstcancer

Thank you so much to the Boundless Life Sciences Group and our team at Ringer Sciences for helping to promote such a worth cause. I am in the home stretch of a campaign that is deeply personal to me, because I have seen first hand how patient support can change the trajectory of patient outcomes. My family has had several difficult cancer journeys, and we have come through it thanks to our amazing network of colleagues, friends, and family. So I am asking my network to please donate to help support the great work that the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society does to change outcomes for patients. Thank you for your support!

An enlightening piece by David distilling some of our recent thinking about how to provide a more rigorous set of criteria to help benchmark and guide our clients on their AI Acceleration. This framework gives us a great opportunity to also bring in our many partners across Next Practices Group like Brain+Trust and BoundlessAI as we help identify and implement the right solutions for clients to accelerate growth, productivity, and new offerings. If you are interested in how we can help you frame and implement AI within your org, let us know. It is a conversation we love to have #ai #datascience #ringerscience #analytics #aioperations

Today is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Visionaries of the Year Action Day and I am taking action in the fight to end blood cancers. Most of you in my network may not know that there have been multiple family members of mine that have had cancer journeys, and we have seen first hand the struggle that patients and their families face in every stage. In particular, we saw patients that did not have the financial and other support in place to make their fight as winnable as possible. We benefited from the broad support of a network like this, and we want to make sure other patients have a similar support.   I am a Visionaries of the Year Candidate this year in Austin, with a specific focus on patient support because of the great work that LLS does in co-pay support, other financial support, and the broad set of resources they provide to patients and their families. A lot of the dollars also go to research that not only fuels blood cancer research but helps across a broad range of cancers. I am striving to raise $50,000 for my campaign. Will you join me today to make the vision of a cancer-free future a reality? https://lnkd.in/gENK6Fka #lls #leukemia #lymphoma

We are excited to announce the launch of CLAIR (Community Learning AI Research), in partnership with 104 West Partners. This new intelligence service will focus on unlocking the insights within tech and healthtech communities, that are largely fragmented, or obfuscated in platforms that are hard to analyze through traditional social listening platforms. Blending the best in current AI and data science approaches with the best humans in the business, we know that this will provide unique actionable insights to our B2B customers. Let us know if you would like to hear more. #AI #CLAIR #comms #B2B #tech #healthtech #104West #NPG #RingerSciences

I'm excited to announce the new AlignEd offering from the Ringer Sciences team, spearheaded by Evan Gallagher and Garrett Bond. It leverages some of our tailored AI-driven models to characterize student and alumni audiences and identify reputational drivers for higher education institutions. If you think this might be of interest for your institution (or your alma mater) please reach out to us. #highereducation #dataanalytics #collegerankings

In the vein of always having a fun demo or project for this annual tradition, look at what my team at Ringer Sciences put together for this year's #SXSW2024 With how busy SXSW always is with networking, stalking celebrities/secret concerts/food popups, and other great activities, it is hard to prioritize which sessions to go to. We put together a chatbot that takes a small bit of information from you (like what days you will be in town), pairs it with a lot of the information we have gathered/tagged about each session, of course an LLM, and points you to the "one thing" you can't miss. Try it out and let us know what you think. Looking forward to seeing everyone at this year's events! #LLM #healthtech #datascience Tagging some folks I know will be around!
