However, finding a good embedding schema is still a challenging task as the existing methods based on spatial coordinates rely on manually engineered features, and/or labelled dataset.</div><div class="gmail-o9v6fnle gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql" style="margin:0.5em 0px 0px;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,system-ui,".SFNSText-Regular",sans-serif;color:rgb(5,5,5)">In this webinar, Dr Shenjun Zhong will discuss his novel deep learning model that identifies latent space and solves the problem of streamline clustering without needing labelled data. Dr Zhong is a Research Fellow and Informatics Officer at Monash Biomedical Imaging. His research interests are sequence modelling, reinforcement learning and federated learning in the general medical imaging domain.</div><div class="gmail-o9v6fnle gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql" style="margin:0.5em 0px 0px;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,system-ui,".SFNSText-Regular",sans-serif;color:rgb(5,5,5)"><div class="gmail-o9v6fnle gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql" style="margin:0.5em 0px 0px">---</div><div class="gmail-o9v6fnle gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql" style="margin:0.5em 0px 0px"><b>2.

Although MRI is useful it comes with an overhead of longer scan time compared to other medical imaging modalities. The longer scan times also make patients uncomfortable and even subtle movements during the scan may result in severe motion artifact in the images.</div><div class="gmail-o9v6fnle gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql" style="margin:0.5em 0px 0px">In this seminar, Dr Kamlesh Pawar<b> </b>will discuss how artificial intelligence techniques can reduce scan time and correct motion artifacts.
