EuroCC@Greece announced the 7th Course of HPC Training Series with the subject \u201cAI for Life Sciences, vol. 1: Deep Learning for Health and Life Sciences\u201d, which successfully took place online on November 1st, 2024, attracting more than 100 registered participants.<\/p>\n
Presentation language<\/strong>: Greek<\/p>\n Audience<\/strong>: Suitable for students, researchers and engineers interested in understanding Machine Learning (ML) and in using ML-based classifiers in an AI pipeline that analyses medical images.<\/p>\n This course provided an introduction to AI techniques based on Machine Learning, with application to life sciences. An overview of AI applications in the life sciences was followed by hands-on training in PyTorch. Participants then explored real-world applications of AI and deep learning in healthcare imaging, particularly breast cancer classification from MRI images. This was done via a tutorial provided by BIOEMTECH, who shared their experience with using MONAI and PyRadiomics, two popular, widely-used open source tools specialised in medical imaging. Through practical demonstrations, participants learned how to prepare, process, and analyse imaging data, with an opportunity for hands-on engagement using a sample dataset.<\/p>\n A prior knowledge of the basics of the Python language was beneficial for some parts of the course.<\/p>\n Watch the recordings of the course in the dedicated playlist <\/strong>here<\/b><\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
