About this event
Priberam Machine Learning Lunch Seminar
Abstract:
Medical imaging is a pillar of healthcare supporting screening, diagnosis, treatment planning and assessment, as well as follow-up. However, due to changes in acquisition systems, data shortage caused by privacy concerns, among other, developed machine learning models often lack generalizability. In this talk we will see how the invariance property of causal structures may be used to improve generalizability, covering application in tabular data obtained from images, deep learning approaches and the use of generative AI to promote such several approaches may be used for tabular data.
