Any feedback is appreciated!
The first “visiting hour” will take place March 18 at 2 p.m. on zoom . Olivier Rukundo will be there for at least 15 minutes (not necessarily full hour, so come early).
The next meetings will take place March 24, April 1, April 6, April 8, April 12, April 14, April 19 (2.30 p.m.), April 22, April 26, April 29, May 3, May 6, May 10, May 20, May 24 (4.30 p.m.), May 26, May 31 (4:45), June 3, June 7 (4:45). Always at 2 p.m. and always on zoom .

May 17 and 24 2022 (9 – 14): KUBIAC will organize a course on brain image analysis (webinar). It will consist of 8 hours of lectures on the basics of brain image analysis concentrating on human and animal MRI. We realize that this will be packed, so there will be a lot of self-study material in addition to lectures/demonstrations.
April 27 2022 (14 – 16): Big data in medical imaging. New innovations in artificial intelligence/machine learning combined with the possibility to utilize imaging data in PACS systems of the hospitals for their training is thought to be transformative for healthcare. At the same time, new AI-based tools are urgently needed in clinic to cope with increasing volume of imaging. However, there are several hurdles related to both legal (incl. contractual/ethical/privacy) and technical aspects of the implementation/training of AI (annotation of the data, computation). In this webinar, we host several experts discussing the possibilities and difficulties in Big Medical Imaging Data.
Program:
14:00 – 14:05 Opening and welcome
14:05 – 14:30: Juha Pajula, VTT for Smart Health Technologies, “Health data utilization challenges: legislation, data security and researcher access”

11th October and 14th October (10 – 14) 2021: Short course on evaluation of machine learning algorithms.
Data driven research has seen strongly growing interest in biomedicine in recent years. This development is thanks to the increase in data availability as well as to advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning research and access to computational resources. Highly promising research examples are published daily. However, at the same time, there are some unrealistic, often overly optimistic, expectations and assumptions with regard to the development, validation and acceptance of such methods. Reliable, objective, and generalisable validation and performance assessment of developed data-analysis methods is one particular pain-point. This online short-course, based on a recent tutorial article, tries to build an understanding of the basic principles of the performance evaluation with lectures and hands-on demonstrations, with a focus to imaging applications.
14th June and 17th June (10 – 13) 2021: Hands-on convolutional neural networks for image analysis
During this course we will introduce the theory of convolutional neural networks and demonstrate their implementation. We will start from toy examples of image classification during which we will introduce the PyTorch framework. In the second lesson, we will follow up with an application in medical imaging segmentation in rat brain MRI, starting from freely available data and ending with a trained neural network. While this course assumes students are familiar with the python language, every implementation step is explained in detail.

Target applications include preclinical ocular research, diagnostic decision support systems, and quantitative biology. We have an outstading line-up of speakers illuminating key challenges from various viewpoints. We are living truly intriguing times for biomedical image analysis, which, powered by recent advances in AI has become a central tool in several application areas also outside the academia. Welcome!
