Machine Learning Boot Camp: Computational Pathology and Artificial Intelligence for the Practicing Pathologist - The field of artificial intelligence is rapidly expanding and has begun to impact pathology. One aspect of artificial intelligence, termed deep learning, is particularly well-suited to anatomic pathology because of its capabilities in image recognition. To date, deep learning algorithms have been applied to the analysis of a variety of tissues, including breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer. This tutorial will provide pathologists with the basic understanding and vocabulary necessary to understand the basics of machine learning and its applications to anatomic pathology. Presented by co-organizer Douglas Clark, MD (University of New Mexico), Andrew Janowczyk, PhD (Case Western Reserve University), and Scott Doyle, PhD (University at Buffalo, SUNY).
