Keynote Speakers
Imperial College London, UK
Dr. Islem Rekik is the Director of the Brain And SIgnal Research and Analysis (BASIRA) laboratory (http://basira-lab.com/) and an Associate Professor at Imperial College London (Innovation Hub I-X). Together with BASIRA members, she conducted more than 85 cutting-edge research projects cross-pollinating AI and healthcare —with a sharp focus on brain imaging and neuroscience. She is also a co/chair/organizer of more than 20 international first-class conferences/workshops/competitions (e.g., Affordable AI 2021-22, Predictive AI 2018-2022, Machine Learning in Medical Imaging 2021-22, WILL competition 2021-22). In addition to her 130+ high-impact publications, she is a strong advocate of equity, inclusiveness and diversity in research. She is the former president of the Women in MICCAI (WiM) and the co-founder of the international RISE Network to Reinforce Inclusiveness & diverSity and Empower minority researchers in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMIC).

Keynote Speech: Trustworthy AI for Imaging-Based Diagnosis
Abstract:
In this talk, I will focus a roadmap for developing trustworthy AI solutions for high-risk applications such as medical imaging and diagnostics. I will analyze three major steps for this roadmap: 1) algorithmic robustness, 2) interpretable / explainable machine learning systems, and 3) human in the loop machine learning system. For each of these I will give a layout. Specifically for human in the loop systems, I will share our unique experience for developing a paradigm-shifting computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system, called collaborative CAD (C-CAD), that unifies CAD and eye-tracking systems in realistic radiology room settings. For interpretable AI systems, I will introduce our new algorithm developed to better localize regions compared to Grad-CAM, for which we obtain superior performance when depicting salient regions that are most informative. Lastly, I will discuss about future directions that medical imaging physicians and scientists should think when AI comes into play.
