Talk title: AI in Medical Image Analysis: Challenges and Solutions 

Abstract: The success of deep learning in many pattern recognition applications has brought excitement and high expectations that artificial intelligence can bring revolutionary changes in healthcare. The potential of applying deep learning to medical image analysis provides decision support for clinicians and improves the accuracy and efficiency of various diagnostic as well as treatment processes. Despite its breakthroughs, the application in clinical practice still suffers from several challenges, such as data imperfection, data heterogeneity, data privacy, and lack of model transparency. In this talk, I will share our recent progress in developing deep learning methods by addressing these challenges for medical image analysis, with application to disease diagnosis, lesion detection, and segmentation.
