Cambridge Centre for Developing Robust Cancer Early Detection Systems under Distribution Shifts and Uncertainty Workshop
Overview
Dive into the forefront of cancer research at the "Developing Robust Cancer Early Detection Systems Under Distribution Shifts and Uncertainty" workshop on Monday, 24 June 2024, at Clare College, University of Cambridge. This hybrid event is set to unite a dynamic mix of machine learning experts, statisticians, health data scientists, and clinicians! Together, we'll chart new territories in early cancer detection, leveraging cutting-edge innovations.
The workshop comprises three 90-minute sessions dedicated to robust modeling approaches, navigating distribution shifts, and enhancing clinical decision support with advanced detection systems.
This workshop serves as a catalyst for intellectual exchange, forging new collaborations, inspiring grant proposals, and contributing to a special edition of the Springer Nature's British Journal of Cancer.
Whether you are a researcher, clinician, or a stakeholder in the healthcare ecosystem, your participation will contribute significantly to shaping the future of cancer early detection. We invite you to join us in this essential dialogue and look forward to welcoming you to Cambridge.
Location
Elton-Bowring and Garden Room, Clare College, University of Cambridge
