Deep learning for digital pathology image analysis (lectures only)

This course is now over-subscribed with a waiting list.

Overview

There is a confluence of ongoing revolutions in biomedical image acquisition, computational methods, and technologies for extracting and integrating relevant data in the construction of diagnostic and prognostic models of disease. In particular, deep learning methods are rapidly expanding the range and accuracy of tools for pathologists and researchers.

The aim of this course is two-fold: discuss applications of state-of-the art deep learning methods in digital pathology, and provide practical training in these methods. The course will consist of a half-day of lectures followed by an optional half-day of practicals.

At the bottom of this page there is a link to proceed with registration for the morning lectures only.

To register for the practicals, please follow this link.

This event is co-hosted with the Swiss Digital Pathology Consortium (SDiPath).

Audience

This course is targeted to clinicians and researchers who are interested in discovering deep learning methods for the analysis of histopathological image data.

Learning objectives

The lectures will introduce participants to the relevant topics and state-of-the-art methods for deep learning in digital pathology image analysis.

Application

Attendance to the lectures are free-of-charge, however registration is mandatory.
