WS 21/22 - Machine Learning for Medical Image Analysis (Seminar)

Course title:Machine Learning for Medical Image Analysis
Course ID:ML-4506
Semester:Winter semester 2021/2022
Lecturers:Dr. Lisa Koch, Dr. Christian Baumgartner
Teaching assistants:Paul Fischer, Indu Ilanchezian, Nikolas Morshuis, Sarah Müller, Stefano Woerner
Time:Friday 12-14h
Location:Maria-von-Linden-Straße 6 - 4th floor seminar room

The seminar starts with an introductory lecture to provide a compact overview of the research field (machine learning for medical image analysis), as well as a tutorial on critical analysis and presentation of research papers. Throughout the remainder of the course, each student presents two papers from a collection of seminal work in the field. Strong emphasis will be put on an engaging group discussion of the paper.

The learning objectives of this seminar consist of three parts: (1) the students will gain a solid understanding of key contributions to the field of machine learning for medical image analysis, (2) the students learn to critically read and analyse original research papers and judge their impact, and (3) the students will improve their scientific communication skills with an oral presentation and participation in discussions sessions.

News

  • 20.10.: Paper selection and schedule is online
  • 6.10.: We have reached full capacity! Please sign up for the waiting list though. There are usually a few people who unenroll before the semester starts, so you might still get a spot!
  • 24.9.: Registration in ILIAS is now open
  • 15.9.: Website is online

Important information

Please register for the course in ILIAS. Number of participants is limited to 12 students. We will maintain a waiting list - if you do not wish to take the course, please unenroll to let other people take your place.

Each student chooses two papers from the provided collection to present during the course of the seminar. The students may get support in the preparation of their presentation by the seminar assistants. Everybody is encouraged to read each paper before it is being presented and engage in a discussion following the presentations. To foster interesting discussions, each paper will also be assigned two “critics” who study the paper and prepare questions for the discussion. Each student will be graded based on both their presentation (80%) and their participation in the assigned discussions (20%). Attendance is required to pass the course (3 absences allowed).

Slides

Slides for the introductory lecture will be uploaded to ILIAS.
