Medical Imaging Meets NIPS: A summary – Towards Data Science

This year I attended and presented a poster at the Medical Imaging Meets NIPs workshop. The workshop focused on bringing together professionals from both the medical imaging and machine learning communities. Altogether there were eleven talks and two poster sessions. Presentations and posters generally discussed segmentation, classification, and/or image reconstruction. Before coming to this workshop I must admit that I did not fully understand the value of image segmentation.
