(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Seminar AI for Healthcare: Challenges in Translating Promises into Patient Outcomes (AIOutcome))

Lehrveranstaltungen:

• • Seminar AI for Healthcare: Challenges in Translating Promises into Patient Outcomes
    (Seminar, 2 SWS, Katharina Breininger et al.)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Students are required to have initial experience with deep learning and machine learning, e.g., from the module "Deep Learning".
This seminar is recommended for Master's students.

Inhalt:

Artificial Intelligence in general, and machine learning (AI/ML) in particular, have become a major thrust of healthcare research. Concisely, it is now widely accepted that learning-based approaches will be a core building block of personalized and precision medicine. The reasons for this are twofold: First, these methods either automate data analysis tasks that would be intractable otherwise thus paving the way for innovative decision making; and second, they offer recommendations in high-variance decisions based on population-scale evidence used for their development, thus potentially decoupling provider experience and outcomes.
Unfortunately, most of the recent successes on private in house or public grand challenge data have been linked to neither improved outcomes nor clinical impact but are limited to task-based comparisons in sandbox settings. Furthermore, developed techniques that have been validated thoroughly in a research setting often fail/perform poorly in clinical ones, and do not account for inherent biases in the data and/or experimental setup.
In this seminar, we will review recently published research on AI/ML for healthcare that successfully translated into clinical practice to identify key factors in study design, method development, infrastructure, or regulation that enable translation.
The seminar will focus on three distinct areas: digital pathology, medical image computing, and computer-aided interventions. Where possible, guest lectures from academia, clinics, as well as industry will be invited as part of the seminar.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students will be able to

• independently identify challenges in translating technical solutions from the bench to the bedside, and assess how close to clinical feasibility a technical solution is

Students will have acquired competences to

• perform an unstructured literature review on an assigned subject
  

• independently research the assigned subject
  

• present and introduce the subject to their peers
  

• give a scientific presentation in English according to international conference standards
  

• summarize their findings in a written report that adheres to good scientific practice

Bemerkung:

The overall grade consists of two parts: A 30-minute seminar presentation (50% final grade, comprised of content and delivery). The goal of the seminar is to prepare a topic for other students in an accessible way.

After all groups have presented their topics, we will break out into smaller teams to further process the seminar talk contents and synergize them into a paper-style report and report-out (conference-style) presentation (~4 pages IEEE and 10 minutes, respectively; 50% final grade, comprised of content and delivery) that discusses at least one core challenge identified throughout the seminar and proposes community guidelines to improve translation of AI research into clinical practice.

Talks and seminar paper should be in English.
Students will work in groups of two if the number of participants allows.
