Master's Lecture Preview | Prof. Dimitris Metaxas from Rutgers University takes you through the analysis of biomedical applications
Abstract
Over the last 25 years, we have been developing a general, scalable, computational learning and AI framework that combines principles of computational learning, neural nets, sparse methods, mixed norms, dictionary learning, and deformable modeling methods. This framework has been used for resolution of complex large scale problems in computer vision and biomedical image analysis.
In computer vision, we will present new machine learning methods for human behavior analytics and explainable scene understanding which are capable of extracting facial features responsible for certain human behaviors, emotions, deception and we will present the use of GANs and self-supervised learning for applications such as monocular multi-view image generation, attribute editing and retargeting, and image to video translations for data augmentation and storytelling.
In medical image analysis we will present segmentation, registration, tracking, and recognition of disease methods and their applications to cardiac analytics, cancer diagnosis, large scale histopathological image analysis, body-part recognition from images, body fat estimation and cell tracking.
