PICS Colloquium: “Representations Learnt from Synthetic Volumes Enable Training-free Medical Image Analysis” with Neel Dey

PICS Large Conference Room – 534 3401 Walnut Street, 5A, Philadelphia

Speaker: Neel Dey, Postdoctoral Associate in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Abstract: Current medical image analysis projects involve months to years of data annotation and custom technical development. This talk introduces methods to train networks that generalize out-of-the-box to new modalities, anatomies, and datasets all without retraining for the […]

PICS Colloquium: “Modeling Lone Pair Dynamics in Materials” with Richard Remsing

PICS Large Conference Room – 534 3401 Walnut Street, 5A, Philadelphia

Title: Modeling Lone Pair Dynamics in Materials Speaker: Richard Remsing, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University Abstract: Materials properties are governed by the structure and dynamics of the bonds between their constituent atoms. In addition to covalent, metallic, and ionic interactions that we typically think about, lone pair electrons can result in […]

PICS Colloquium: “Genetic testing and adverse selection” with Eduardo Azevedo

PICS Large Conference Room – 534 3401 Walnut Street, 5A, Philadelphia

Title: Genetic testing and adverse selection Speaker: Eduardo Azevedo, Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at Wharton, John M. Bendheim Professor, Thomas L. Bendheim Professor Abstract: Technology is dramatically driving down the cost of sequencing genetic data and increasing the quality of predictions made with this data. A standard concern is that these predictions […]
