About the seminar

AI and machine learning have the potential to revolutionize healthcare. New tools can help medical doctors to more accurate diagnoses and wiser decisions on which treatments to start. This would be beneficial for both individual patients and the society as a whole – but a key issue is that doctors need to trust their AI-assistants. That is, the machine learning models need to be explainable so that clinicians understand where the advice is coming from.

During his talk, professor Panagiotis Papapetrou will give you an overview of state-of-the-art research on explainable machine learning models in healthcare applications.

The talk will cover:
– how to provide trustworthy explanations in the healthcare context
– the challenges of multimodality in healthcare data sources
– how to achieve good tradeoffs between data privacy, explainability and model performance
