The 3rd International Workshop on Bayesian and Graphical Models for Biomedical Imaging (BAMBI) Call for Papers

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 

**********************************************************************
The 3rd International Workshop on Bayesian and Graphical Models for Biomedical Imaging (BAMBI)

Friday, October 21st, 2016 - Athens, Grece
Associated with MICCAI 2016
Location:  Intercontinental Athenaeum, Arcade I

*************************************************************************

OVERVIEW:

This workshop builds on the huge success of the 1st and 2nd BAMBI
workshops. 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, rather than on results which can
serve as proof-of-concept and illustration.


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.
