AIMI Research Meeting: 2021 Research Project Update - Joseph Paul Cohen, PhD

This event is open to the Stanford community

AIMI Postdoc, Joseph Paul Cohen, will provide updates that will cover  the 3 papers below that will be presented at ICLR and MIDL this year. They are focused on neural network prediction explanation as well as incorporating metadata to improve model performance.

• Saliency is a Possible Red Herring When Diagnosing Poor Generalization
• Gifsplanation via Latent Shift: A Simple Autoencoder Approach to Progressive Exaggeration on Chest X-rays
• Benefits of Linear Conditioning for Segmentation Using Metadata
