#IJCAI2022 invited talk: Insights in medicine with Mihaela van der Schaar

The 31st International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 25th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJACI-ECAI 2022) took place from 23-29 July, in Vienna. As part of the conference there were eight fascinating invited talks. The title of her talk was "Panning for insights in medicine and beyond: New frontiers in machine learning interpretability". Mihaela began by explaining why the field of medicine is so complex. Differences between individuals, due to factors such as genetic background, environmental exposure, and life-style, lead to variations in symptoms, disease trajectories, and responses to treatments.
