MICCAI 2017 Tutorial - DL for MI

Deep learning is the field of machine learning that studies and develops artificial neural networks capable of learning several layers of representation (features) from raw data. These methods have delivered new levels of performance in the field of computer vision. More recently, they have become popular in medical imaging systems, such as for the segmentation of various types of tissues in medical imagery. In this tutorial, we will provide an introduction to deep learning, covering both theory and practice. On the theory side, we will describe the most common concepts found in today's deep learning research, with a focus on convolutional neural networks.
