PyData Bratislava Meetup #14 [Deep Learning in Medicine]
Details
Talk Title: "Deep Learning for Ophthalmology"
Description: Ophthalmology is at the forefront of deep learning applications in medicine due to the ability to image the retina quickly and non-invasively.
Deep learning recently enabled a first of its kind FDA approved fully autonomous diagnostic system and the field is attracting deep learning giants like Google, DeepMind and Baidu.
I will show how deep learning is used for quantification of imaging biomarkers, automated diagnosis and progression prediction of prominent retinal diseases, the leading causes of blindness today.
Speaker/Bio: Hrvoje Bogunović - Researcher at Christian Doppler Lab for Ophthalmic Image Analysis, Medical University of Vienna
PhD in Medical Image Computing. Postdoc at the Iowa Institute for Biomedical Imaging (IIBI), University of Iowa, US, specializing in medical image computing applications in ophthalmology. Currently at Medical University of Vienna as a lead of computational imaging methods development in the Christian Doppler Lab for Ophthalmic Image Analysis.
Research interests are in medical image computing, imaging genetics, and machine learning. Particularly interested in machine learning for predicting disease progression and in knowledge discovery from large clinical longitudinal imaging datasets.

PyData Bratislava [Python Data Enthusiasts and Users, Data Scientists & Statisticians of all levels from Slovakia]
--
PyData is a group for users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. We gather to discuss how best to apply Python tools, as well as those using R and Julia, to meet the evolving challenges in data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData groups, events, and conferences aim to provide a venue for users acrossall the various domains of data analysis to share their experiences and their techniques. PyData is organized by NumFOCUS.org, a 501(c)3 non-profit in the United States.
The PyData Code of Conduct governs this meetup. To discuss any issues or concerns relating to the code of conduct or the behavior of anyone at a PyData meetup, please contact the organizer or NumFOCUS Executive Director Leah Silen (+1512-222-5449; leah@numfocus.org).
