Machine Learning to Diagnose Childhood Brain Tumours

πŸ•“ 11:50 am - πŸ“ M1
Brain tumours are currently the number one cause of cancer related death in children worldwide. The current method of identifying childhood brain tumours is problematic at best and useless at worse for remote and budget limiting healthcare locations. But perhaps machine learning holds the key to speed and cost allowing isolated areas like Perth to diagnosis these deadly diseases locally. I will be discussing how we have addressed this problem both from machine learning software development perspective and deployment approach.

It's such a privilege to be able to run this conference and DDD Perth would love to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which DDD is created, presented, and shared, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
