?? Women in MICCAI (WiM) is happy to announce the second invited talk in the WiM "Health Equity in the AI Era" Webinar Series 2024 ?? Building Trustworthiness through Robustness ??♀? Speaker: Dr. Maria A. Zuluaga, EURECOM, King's College London ?? Monday, December 9, 2024 ?? 4:00 - 5:00 PM UTC / 8:00 - 9:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST ?? Registration link: https://lnkd.in/gHJUQ6Cz ??? Trustworthiness is paramount in the development and deployment of AI systems. A critical aspect of achieving trustworthy AI lies in its robustness—the ability of a model to maintain performance under varying conditions. This talk will delve into the importance of robustness in ensuring trustworthy AI, with a particular focus on two key areas: distribution shifts and input data variations. Distribution shifts, a common and well-studied challenge in AI, occur when the distribution of test data drifts from that of training. We will discuss techniques to enhance model robustness against such shifts, when dealing with multi-center, multi-modal and multi-organ datasets. Additionally, we will explore the less-studied area of input data variations, such as missing values or modalities. While the standard approach is to impute the missing data, we argue this may be problematic in certain scenarios that we will discuss. Then, we will present our research on developing robust models that can effectively handle missing data without imputation, leading to more reliable, resilient and, overall, more trustworthy AI systems. We will illustrate our work in different medical imaging applications.
