A Seminar Planning Wednesday 16.11 Auditorium 201, Floor 2, Biomedical Engineering, Silver building @ Technion 12:30: Prof. Eytan Blumenthal and Dr. Hadas Pizem 13:00: Break networking (pizza) 13:30: Dr. Joachim A. Behar An Abstract: Recent advances in deep learning combined with the increased availability of medical data in digital format have led to tremendous success in the medical domain. Deep learning has been used in different sub domains such as: medical imaging, bioinformatics, omics, radiology etc. and shown promising results. In ophthalmology, deep learning techniques have been applied to Digital Fundus Images (DFI) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) achieving high performance in detecting diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular edema. Furthermore, doctor referral recommendation has been predicted by using OCT scans, and refractive error has been predicted using DFIs. The human eye is an open window into the body in that it provides us a unique opportunity to non-invasively visualize an extension of the central nervous system via the retina as well as the  microvasculature. In this talk we will review and present original research on leveraging AI to support the field of ophthalmology as well as leveraging eye images for the purpose of non-eye disease risk prediction, diagnosis and management. the lecturers: Dr. Joachim A. Behar is heading the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Laboratory (AIMLab.) at the Technion faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Haifa, Israel. The lab focuses on the usage of machine learning and deep learning in medicine within the context of physiological time series and images analysis in medical fields including cardiology, sleep medicine and ophthalmology. Dr. Behar is one of the founding directors of the Technion-Rambam Initiative in Medical AI (TERA). The purpose of TERA is to close the in-silico to bedside loop in medical AI. Dr. Behar is twice winner of the MIT-PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology competition. Prof. Eytan Blumenthal is the Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Rambam Health Care Campus. Prof. Blumenthal specializes in the treatment and surgery of difficult glaucoma and cataract cases. His major research interests include: glaucoma, studying diagnostic technology in glaucoma, and developing diagnostic and surgical devices. Amongst his research projects are the invention of a lens used for laser treatment after glaucoma surgery, and a device used during filtration surgery. Prof. Blumenthal is interested in AI in the field of DFI’s and visual fields, as well as predictors of successful glaucoma and cataract surgery.

By ricky-ben-david, The Times of Israel Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is making a 20 million dollar investment in Israeli firm CytoReason, a developer of computational disease models for drug discovery and development, as part of a wider deal worth up to 110 million dollar over the next five years, the companies announced on Tuesday.

We are extremely excited for the launch of the Technion's artificial intelligence community! ??? We will mark the opening shot in a unique and fascinating series of webinars in collaboration with NVIDIA. So get another small taste of what awaits you - meet Eyal Einav: Eyal serves as developer relations manager at Nvidia Israel, and he leads the field of AI Video Analytics, while working together with developers and the data science ecosystem and startups in Israel. ? At the webinar, Eyal will talk about the optimization of video analysis solutions that support artificial intelligence that optimizes tasks in various industries, from health services to manufacturing, and helps companies and their employees work in a smarter and safer way. did you know? Over a billion cameras deployed around the world in almost all of our important spaces, these cameras generate huge amounts of data but without a system to analyze this data, valuable insights are lost. In the lecture we will deal with how computer vision powered by AI helps to create insights that allow cities and companies to improve their safety and operational efficiency. Are you intrigued? A small registration and you are connected. See you at our webinar series 13-14-15.9! To register: https://bit.ly/3wYMS4z

We have the pleasure to invite you to participate in the monthly seminar organized by the Technion-Rambam Center for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare. We are going to focus on AI in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Therapy prediction during this session with the participation of Pr. Mahmoud Suleiman from Rambam HCC and Dr. Moti Freiman from the Technion. We hope to see you there. Laurent Karat Manager of Technion-Rambam Center for AI in Healthcare (CAIH)

Join us to the Annual Symposium of MLIS– the Technion AI center and TCE Center, on February 24, 2022, at ELMA Arts Complex [Zichron Ya’acov]. AI is now THE Buzz word, but what are the true current capabilities? What is state-of-the-art and what can be implemented? In this symposium, we differentiate fact from (current) fiction through a series of lectures and thematic workshops presented by Technion researchers. Conference website  

Nvidia’s CUDA 1-day virtual workshop is set for July 27^th, 9AM and will be delivered for Python. The workshop is free for MLIS researchers and their students. The Zoom link for the event will be sent at a later date – please mark the date in your calendars.
