Arkadiusz Tomczyk
Lodz University of Technology
Poland
Brief Bio
Arkadiusz Tomczyk received the MSc degree in computer science in 2002 and the PhD with honours in computer science in 2011 from the Faculty of Technical Physics, Information Technology and Applied Mathematics of the Lodz University of Technology, Poland. Since 2002 he has been employed in the Institute of Information Technology of the Technical University of Lodz. His research experience covers image processing and analysis, especially active contour methods, as well as pattern recognition and machine learning techniques. From 2007 to 2010 he was engaged as an investigator in research grant devoted to contextual and semantic analysis of medical images and their sequences. At present, he is working mainly in the field of cognitive image content interpretation. He is a principal investigator in research grant focused on Cognitive Hierarchical Active Partitions, a method combining active contour approach with structural representation of image content. This method was presented at international trade fairs and shows of inventions and has been awarded silver medals at International Warsaw Invention Show 2011 (Poland, Warsaw) and International Exhibition of Inventions 2012 (Geneva, Switzerland). The project is supported by National Science Centre, Republic of Poland, project no. 2012/05/D/ST6/03091.SCOPE
Current machine learning techniques are able to achieve spectacular results in automatic understanding of natural images whereas in the area of medical image analysis the progress is not that evident. The problem is medical knowledge essential for proper interpretation of image content. That knowledge, possessed by relatively small number of radiological experts, usually cannot be directly expressed using mathematical formulas. This can be overcome by laborious knowledge acquisition or by techniques to some extent imitating expert behaviour. Both approaches are, however, still challenging tasks. That is why the goal of the special session is to discuss the problems in acquisition and utilization of domain knowledge in automatic understanding of semantic image structure.
TOPICS:
Both computer scientists and radiologists are welcome as participants. The session should constitute a perfect forum to express expectations, suggest solutions and share experience for members of those two communities.
The scope of the session contains, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- expert knowledge acquisition and representation methods (how effectively medical knowledge can be acquired and used in existing models of image analysis);
- classical image segmentation and object localization techniques capable of using domain specific knowledge (e.g. active contours and their generalizations);
- structural image representation and analysis (e.g. image decomposition, structured prediction, probabilistic graphical models);
- deep architectures in image analysis (e.g. convolutional neural networks).

Abstract
There has been significant progress in medical technology that provides early stage and detailed diagnosis of many diseases. This has enhanced the longevity and quality of life and we are now living longer and healthier, and significantly more independent. We are also able to perform relevant functional activities for significant period. However, many of these diagnostics can be performed only in major hospitals and require significant infrastructure such as qualified personnel, buildings, and electricity. This greatly limits the benefits of the technologies to be located in large urban centres.
Dinesh has been working towards changing the above paradigm and works for the development of diagnostic devices that are suitable for being used in remote regions by untrained healthcare personnel. Such devices provide automation of recording and analysis of the data, thereby do not require large buildings, and are suitable for the target audience. The success of such diagnostic devices is based on the development of advanced image and signal processing techniques that makes these devices noise tolerant and provide good quality diagnostics without high quality infrastructure.
