报告内容简介：

In this talk, we present a set of important computational problems and approaches in modern medical research, clinical practice, and applications. In particular, we discuss computational problems that arise in medical imaging, clinical diagnosis and prognosis, basic medical research, and other medical applications.  These include identification and distribution analysis of immune cells (for the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer, inflammation diseases, and auto-immune diseases, and in stem cell studies of leukemia bone marrow micro-environments), medical imaging for cancer detection and research, motion tracking of massive swarming bacteria in image movies, etc. We demonstrate new models for formulating key medical tasks as computational problems, and devise effective approaches for solving them, based on combinations of techniques in computer vision, data mining, and optimization.  In particular, we present new computational approaches for medical problems based on the emerging powerful framework of deep learning. Also, we show experimental data and results to illustrate the clinical applications of our approaches. Finally, we highlight some important future research trends and problems in the exciting new area of computational medicine and health care.
