CSIG Talk on Predicting Surgical Outcomes

 Collecting Movement Data and Predicting Surgical Outcomes in the Age of Deep Learning

Talk Link: https://zoom.us/j/7371462221   June 14, 10:30 AM EDT

Slides and Talk Recording: http://cognitive-science.info/community/weekly-update/

Speaker: Łukasz Kidziński, Mobilize Center at Stanford University

Talk Description:
Recent achievements in machine learning are subverting foundations of many research disciplines. In this presentation, I will show how these developments affect the collection, modeling, and prediction of human gait kinematics, enabling unprecedented scale of research and applications. I will focus on our novel technique for predicting progression trajectories of pathologic gait kinematics from sparse observations, using matrix completion techniques. I will present how we collect movement data with equipment 100x cheaper than usual and how we model movement using reinforcement learning, leveraging large computational resources and domain knowledge embedded in simulation software.
