Abstract:

Artificial intelligence, especially deep learning with large-scale
annotated datasets, has dramatically advanced the recognition performance
in many domains including speech recognition, visual recognition and
natural language processing. Despite its breakthroughs in above domains,
its application to medical image analysis remains yet to be further
explored, where large-scale fully and high-quality annotated datasets are
not easily accessible. In this talk, I will share our recent progress on
developing label-efficient learning methods by leveraging an abundance of
weakly-labeled and/or unlabeled datasets for medical image analysis, with
application to disease diagnosis, lesion localization and segmentation.
