Title:
Next-Generation Computer-Assisted Medical Interventions: Prediction vs. Decision Making
Abstract:
This talk will cover deployment of new learning models and technical solutions for computer-assisted medical interventions, and for surgical oncology. It will discuss the impact of the solutions on improving outcomes, considering the inherent uncertainties embedded in such environments. The value and role of imperfect predictions, and the challenges associated with such predictions will also be presented for clinical decision making.
