BAMBI: Bayesian and Graphical Models for Biomedical Imaging - http://bambi.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ BAMBI is a 1 day workshop being hosted in conjunction with MICCAI 2014 in Boston on 18th September. BAMBI will focus on probabilistic graphical models, which have an increasingly important role to play in biomedical image analysis as they provide a coherent framework to describe observed imaging and medical data. Modern computationally efficient inference algorithms have pushed these approaches into the spotlight of machine learning, computer vision and lately medical imaging. If you would like to disseminate new probabilistic models and inference schemes to the MICCAI community, we invite you to submit your work to this workshop. We are looking for original, innovative and mathematically rigorous models and inference methods for the analysis of medical image data. Emphasis will be placed on novel methodological approaches and interpretability with respect to the medical problem, while results will serve as proof-of-concept and illustration. Topics of interest include but are not limited to plausible and realistic generative models, efficient inference strategies, model comparison and averaging, model uncertainty, modelling of multi-modal data, hierarchical graphical modelling and comparison to traditional/heuristic methods. Potential applications cover the full scope of medical image analysis: segmentation, registration, classification, fusion, reconstruction, atlas construction, tractography, structural/functional modelling, and population analysis. Other reasons to submit include: - Three terrific invited speakers: Koen Van Leemput (Harvard Medical School), Mike Miller (Johns Hopkins University) and Ramin Zabih (Cornell) - A €300 best paper award, sponsored by IcoMetrix (http://www.icometrix.com/). - Papers will be published in a special volume in the Springer LNCS series Submission guidelines can be found at http://bambi.cs.ucl.ac.uk/Papers/Guidelines/index.html. Important dates: Submission date: 1st June. Notification of acceptance: 5th July. Workshop date: 18th September.
