DESCRIPTION:The *Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre* and the *Department 
 of Radiology at Addenbrooke's* are pleased to announce a seminar series on
  *Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Medicine*\, which aims to provide a comp
 rehensive overview of the latest developments in this rapidly evolving fie
 ld. As AI continues to revolutionize healthcare\, we believe it is essenti
 al to explore its potential and discuss the challenges and opportunities i
 t presents.\n\n\nThe seminar series will feature prominent experts in the 
 field who will share their research and insights on a range of topics\, in
 cluding AI applications in disease diagnosis\, drug discovery\, and patien
 t care. Each seminar will involve two talks\, followed by an interactive d
 iscussion with coffee and pastries! We hope that this seminar series will 
 be a valuable platform for researchers\, practitioners and students to lea
 rn about the latest trends and explore collaborations in the exciting fiel
 d of AI in Medicine.\n\n \nThe next seminar will be held on the *27th of N
 ovember 2023\, 10am at the Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre (Main Lecture T
 heatre)\, University of Cambridge* and will feature two talks:\n\n\n\n*Tit
 le: "Turn and face the strange: Out-of-distribution generalisation in mach
 ine learning" – Dr. Agnieszka Słowik\, Microsoft Research Cambridge*\n\
 n\nAgnieszka Słowik is a Postdoctoral Researcher working on R&D in robust
  and responsible AI at Microsoft Research Cambridge. Prior to joining Micr
 osoft\, she did her PhD in out-of-distribution generalisation in machine l
 earning at University of Cambridge. During her PhD\, she did several resea
 rch internships at Mila\, Meta AI and Microsoft Research\, and published a
 t top machine learning venues\, such as AISTATS and AAAI. \n\nAbstract: Wh
 en applied to a new data distribution\, machine learning algorithms have b
 een shown to deteriorate. Distribution shifts are caused by spurious corre
 lations that hold at training time but not at test time\, changes to the d
 omain\, as well as under- and over-representation of certain populations i
 n training data. In this talk\, I present two studies in the setting of le
 arning from multiple data sources. In the first study\, On Distributionall
 y Robust Optimization and Data Rebalancing\, multiple data sources are use
 d to minimise the error on the most challenging data source. In the second
  study\, Linear unit-tests for invariance discovery\, I present a set of '
 unit tests' that validate whether a given algorithm ignores spurious\, uns
 table features that are unlikely to hold in the future\, while learning th
 e features that hold across all sources of training data. I conclude with 
 a discussion of potential applications of this research to AI in medicine.
 \n\n \n\n*Title: "Development of a Natural Language Processing Multilingua
 l Model for Summarizing Radiology Reports" – Mariana Lindo\, Critical Te
 chworks*\n \n\nMariana Lindo is a Biomedical Engineer specialized in Medic
 al Informatics. She obtained her degree and master's degree at the Univers
 ity of Minho in Braga\, Portugal. During her academic career\, she had the
  opportunity to participate in projects related to AI and health\, includi
 ng the Scientific Talent Grant in Artificial Intelligence awarded by the C
 alouste Gulbenkian Foundation\, where she was able to develop a model base
 d on Generative Adversarial Networks for the generation of X-ray images of
  difficult-to-detect rib fractures. She also had the opportunity to comple
 te an internship at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine 
 in Essen\, Germany\, as part of the ERASMUS+ program\, where she focused o
 n developing her dissertation and learned a lot from the institute's resea
 rch team. She is currently working as a Data Mastermind at Critical Techwo
 rks\, a company responsible for the development and construction of BMW ve
 hicles software.\n\nAbstract: The impression section of a radiology report
  summarizes important radiology findings and plays a critical role in comm
 unicating these findings to physicians. However\, the preparation of these
  summaries is time-consuming and error-prone for radiologists. Recently\, 
 numerous models for radiology report summarization have been developed. Ne
 vertheless\, there is currently no model that can summarize these reports 
 in multiple languages. Such a model could greatly improve future research 
 and the development of Deep Learning models that incorporate data from pat
 ients with different ethnic backgrounds. In this study\, the generation of
  radiology impressions in different languages was automated by fine-tuning
  a model\, publicly available\, based on a multilingual text-to-text Trans
 former to summarize findings available in English\, Portuguese\, and Germa
 n radiology reports. In a blind test\, two board-certified radiologists in
 dicated that for at least 70% of the system-generated summaries\, the qual
 ity matched or exceeded the corresponding human-written summaries\, sugges
 ting substantial clinical reliability. Furthermore\, this study showed tha
 t the multilingual model outperformed other models that specialized in sum
 marizing radiology reports in only one language\, as well as models that w
 ere not specifically designed for summarizing radiology reports\, such as 
 ChatGPT.\n\n  \n\nThis is a hybrid event so you can also join via Zoom: \n
