DESCRIPTION:The School of Information Studies is pleased to announce the ne
 xt Seminar Series on May 15\, 2024 at 2:00pm.\n\n \n\nTitle: Towards Clini
 cally Accurate Medical Image Report Generation\n\nLocation: 680 Sherbrooke
  West\, Rm 361\n\nSpeaker: Prof. William K. Cheung\, Associate Vice Presid
 ent & Professor\, Hong Kong Baptist University\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nMedica
 l images are complex. We typically need radiologists' expertise to examine
  them\, recognize normal and abnormal findings\, and prepare the medical i
 mage report. The process of medical image examination and reporting someti
 mes can be error-prone\, especially when the workload is excessive\, e.g.\
 , due to staff shortage. AI tools which can automatically generate medical
  image reports to be validated by radiologists will be particularly helpfu
 l. As compared to other text generation applications\, the key challenge o
 f medical image report generation is the report’s clinical accuracy. In th
 is talk\, I will present our recent work on developing deep learning model
 s for the report generation\, including the incorporation of attributed gr
 aph structure into the model architecture and the use of an anatomy-aware 
 hierarchical vision encoding which is designed to allow user interaction.
 \n\n \n\nSpeaker bio: \n\nWilliam K. Cheung received the Ph.D. degree in c
 omputer science from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in
  1999. He is currently the Associate Vice President (Undergraduate Program
 mes)\, Professor of Computer Science and Director of Centre of Health Info
 rmatics at Hong Kong Baptist University. His research interests include ar
 tificial intelligence\, data mining\, social network analysis\, and health
 care informatics. He has served as the PC member of AAAI\, IJCAI\, NeurIPS
 \, UAI\, ICLR\, etc.\, and the programme co-chairs for a number of interna
 tional conferences and workshops on areas including artificial intelligenc
 e\, machine learning\, data mining\, Web intelligence\, and health informa
 tics. From 2002-2018\, he was on the Editorial Board of the IEEE Intellige
 nt Informatics Bulletin. He is a Track Editor of Web Intelligence Journal 
 and an Associate Editor of Journal of Health Information Research\, and Ne
 twork Modeling Analysis in Health Informatics and Bioinformatics. In recen
 t years\, he is also heavily involved in implementing transdisciplinary un
 dergraduate programmes in the areas of health innovation\, arts and techno
 logy\, and digital humanity. He is currently a Visiting Professor at the M
