Tcon #3: November 29

• 10am Boston time
• Project Discussions with focus on Machine Learning and Web-based software for clinical research/trials

Participants

• Tina Kapur (MIT) - organizer; planning Nvidia webinars. Proposal to use Monday as a schedule for the deep learning workshop before workshop begins.
• Steve Pieper (Isomics/BWH) - NVidia update; met with Abdul at NVidia (Medical applications of deep learning). Positive meeting and Slicer might be a reference platform. NVIdia will host a Monday Afternoon session at Project Week and hold outside webinars for basic deep learning information. Considering two or three days of a few hours each for webinar. Discussion of a prize board awarded for demonstrations that Nvidia could use.
• Padma (Univ. of Pennsylvania Biomedical Group) Showcase some of their capability: cancer & phenomics toolkit; facilitate integration from their toolkit to/from Slicer; They have a few applications that might be interesting to others during project week - (1) fibre tracking in brain, (2) lung tumor segmentation, (3) density estimation
• Beatriz, Alexis, and JC (Kitware) - Slicer support and 3 other projects (1) customized childrern's medical, (1) Alex submitted volumetric meshing project in Slicer idea to the NA-MIC email list; have a discussion on Meshing; the goal is for Finite Element analsis and light imaging (2), better MATLAB integration (use Python-like interface). (3) Beatrix - shape analysis algorithms to be added to Slicer based on recently-funded grant.
• JC (Kitware) - integration of iPython and Slicer; Tina Suggested also Deep Infer framework to integrate with Slicer
• Louise Oram (Stockholm) - Specialization of Slicer for Liver surgery, possibly using SliceLet approach or other way to tailor the Slicer UI. Currently customizations need to be in the Extension catalog. Also interested in Liver vessel segmentation project and other Liver segmentation tasks. This might complement with MeVIS lab capability focused on liver. Separate modules for liver surgery that might be integrated together later.
• Frank Preiswerk (BWH) - General GPU programming; experiment with rehosting algorithms has has previously developed to GPU.
• Paolo, Italy - (Summer Project Week Host)
• Mahboob (Old Dominion) - two possible projects, not certain yet - (1) smaller training datasets for medical images, (2) braining atlas segmentation integration with Slicer.
• Curt Lisle (KnowledgeVis) - (1) web-based transition of subset of Slicer capability, (2) Iowa Meshing Module move from 3.6 to 4.7 (with Alex from Kitware); (3) possible integration of web-based volume rendering;
• Eric Seigler - OHIS Cornerstone Lesion Tracker author; Integrating interactive segmentation into the web-based framework

Discussions

• Training deep learning networks with smaller datasets.
• Integrating of projects with Slicer & architecture will be a discussion topic during the week.
• Everybody, be sure to register on the Wiki for the workshop; come up with a title and short description of the project(s) you will work on.
• OK to send info to the NA-MIC email list
