Students will be assigned a medical dataset and in close consultation with medical doctors create a project plan. Deep Learning methods will be applied to solve tasks to achieve the goal that is agreed upon. Datasets will be explored and analysed in several directions and different approaches will be evaluated and compared. In short this course offers students to:</p> <ul> <li>Apply Deep Learning in the real world</li> <li>Work on medical data and potentially help diagnose and analyse health related problems</li> <li>Close supervision by PhD students with specialization in AI</li> <li>Collaboration with medical experts</li> <li>Work on the intersection between medicine and computer science</li> </ul> <h2 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites:</h2> <ul> <li>Completed at least one or several machine learning or deep learning courses (e.g. Intro to Deep Learning, Advanced Deep Learning, Machine Learning etc) with good grades.
