The 2nd International Workshop on Bayesian and Graphical Models for
Biomedical Imaging (BAMBI) Call for Papers
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS
**********************************************************************
The 2nd International Workshop on Bayesian and Graphical Models for
Biomedical Imaging (BAMBI)
Friday, October 9th, 2015 - Munich, Germany
http://bambi.cs.ucl.ac.uk/
1 day workshop held in conjunction with the 18th MICCAI Conference
(Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention).
************************************************************************
IMPORTANT DATES:
Full paper submission: June 8, 2015
Notification of acceptance: July 10, 2015
OVERVIEW:
BAMBI will focus on Bayesian and 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 medical imaging. If you would like to
disseminate new probabilistic models 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. This workshop builds on the huge
success of the 1st BAMBI workshop, which was introduced at MICCAI
2014.
TOPICS:
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.
