Researchers are actively developing artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of some of the most challenging components of medical imaging. These components include computer-aided diagnosis, automatic segmentation of anatomical regions, automatic lesion detection, data fusion, and image-guided surgical intervention, to name a few. This course aims to develop imaging scientists who understand the fundamentals of machine learning, how to implement different machine learning algorithms, how to select and extract features from medical images, and how to evaluate different AI learning strategies (supervised vs. non-supervised). The course will cover classical machine learning techniques and deep learning techniques. Specifically, students will learn how to evaluate and implement different deep learning architectures, convolution neural networks, recurrent neural networks, object detection networks, U-Net (segmentation networks), multi-modal architectures, and generative adversarial networks. This course will also teach students how to train neural networks for medical images, data augmentation, and domain adaptation.

Machine Learning (ML) is the branch of Artificial Intelligence dedicated to teaching computers how to solve tasks by learning from data. This class introduces basic concepts of machine learning through various real-world ECE applications. It will cover various learning paradigms such as supervised learning, semi-supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. It will also cover classical and state-of-the-art techniques such as linear models, support vector machines, Gaussian mixture models, hidden Markov models, matrix factorization, ensemble learning, principal component analysis, and various kinds of deep neural networks. Students will learn the pros and cons of different methods and their suited application scenarios. This course is hands-on with multiple programming assignments and a final project to solve real ECE problems. Prerequisites: General programming such as ECE-114; MATH 165 linear algebra.
