Demystifying AI in Computational Pathology In this ESDIP Academy lecture, we explored the core aspects of training artificial neural networks and their application in computational pathology thanks to the expertise of Hrafn Weishaupt from Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen. By delving into the training process, evaluation metrics, and the nuances of machine learning, we aim to transform how AI supports pathology, especially in cancer care. Key Takeaways: -Understanding the basics of training neural networks, including epochs, batches, and loss functions, is crucial for developing accurate models. -Training deep learning models helps automate complex tasks like tissue segmentation and image classification, improving diagnostic precision. -Proper evaluation and prevention of overfitting ensure that AI models can generalize well to new, unseen data, leading to better diagnostic support and treatment predictions. -AI's role in computational pathology extends to detecting subtle patterns in histopathological images, guiding more precise therapeutic strategies. Join us as we explore how machine learning is revolutionizing the field of pathology and bringing us closer to personalized, effective patient care!
