Abstract: In this talk, Chetan Arora will speak about some of their works in the detection of cancer using radiology images, specifically breast cancer detection from mammograms and gall bladder cancer detection from ultrasound images. Though many of these problems can be formally posed as visual recognition from computer vision, the low inter-class variance and large intra-class variance, along with small datasets pose unique challenges. He will describe how they solved some of these challenges using important clinical insights and modern deep neural network-based techniques.
Speaker bio: Chetan Arora is a Professor in the Department Computer Science and Engineering and a joint faculty in the Yardi School of Artificial Intelligence at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. He received a PhD in Computer Science and a BTech in Electrical Engineering, both from IIT Delhi, in 2012 and 1999 respectively. He did his postdoctoral research work with Professor Shmuel Peleg from 2012–2014 at Hebrew University, Israel.
