Domain-specific methods for joint embedding self-supervised learning with ultrasound images

Join the talk at: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/77917991926?pwd=DVVp8yRWGKuXH7cRubIesPYTccprE9.1 Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a strategy for addressing the paucity of labelled data in medical imaging by learning representations from unlabelled images. Contrastive and non-contrastive SSL methods learn representations that are similar for pairs of related images.

When (Not) To Pool Data (or, how to alleviate the dirty little secret of machine learning)
When (Not) To Pool Data (or, how to alleviate the dirty little secret of machine learning)

Suppose we wish to develop a machine learning model for our favourite medical application, e.g. for detecting a rare disease, or suggesting individualized treatment such as for decreasing cholestorol levels. To do so, we need training data.

Advancing Interventional Healthcare One Simulation at a Time
Advancing Interventional Healthcare One Simulation at a Time

Image-guided surgeries are complex, highly inaccessible environments for researchers hoping to improve interventional healthcare. However, simulations offer readily available, easily controlled environments for replicating these surgeries in a scalable fashion. By enhancing learning- and physics-based simulations, we unlock new possibilities for embodied systems such as automated algorithms and immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences.

Discovering Latent Causes and Memory Modification ; A Computational Approach Using Symmetry and Geometry

We learn from our experiences, even though they are never exactly the same. This implies that we need to assess their similarity to apply what we have learned from one experience to another.
