Lei Xing, PhD
Jacob Haimson & Sarah S. Donaldson Professor, Director of Medical Physics Division, Dept of Radiation Oncology, Stanford University
Artificial intelligence driven by deep learning have attracted much attention in the past several years and holds significant potential for improved healthcare. The enormous success of deep learning stems from its unique capabilities of extracting and aggregating essential features from big data and then making inferences.
In this talk, I will summarize recent advances in AI applications in imaging and therapy, interpretable AI, identify the pitfalls of current data-driven approaches, and provide my perspectives on the future of AI in biomedical physics and medicine.
