Abstract:
The breakthrough successes of deep learning-based solutions in various fields of research and practice have attracted a growing number of researchers to work in the field of medical image analysis. However, due to the increasing number of publicly available data sets, domain knowledge and/or close collaboration with domain experts is no longer an essential prerequisite. To demonstrate the potentially severe consequences of this recent development, this talk will highlight the importance of domain knowledge for various steps within the development process: from the selection of training/test data in the presence of possible confounders, to the choice of appropriate validation metrics and the interpretation of algorithm results.
