Leibniz AI Lab: Artificial Intelligence, Causality and Personalised Medicine Symposium 2023: submit your abstracts!

The Leibniz AI Lab invites you to submit your abstract for the next Artificial Intelligence, Causality and Personalised Medicine Symposium (AICPM), which will take place on 14 & 15 September 2023 in the Leibnizhaus, Hannover.

The focus of this 2-day symposium will be to bring together researchers and medical practitioners to discuss and share advances in the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning to medical practice and research. This symposium will provide a catalyst for interdisciplinary collaboration and dialog with the aim of knowledge sharing, research presentation, and agenda setting.

Benefiting from a huge amount of data with multiple modalities in the big data era, the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is contributing to advances in medical applications. Such applications include genetic data are analysed for predicting risks of cancer or treatment outcome in oncology; clinical data from electronic health records are useful for predicting specific diseases, such as sepsis in intensive care units; and bio-signals can be processed by AI for many applications, such as electrocardiography. In particular, personalised medicine will benefit from intelligent, reliable, and responsible AI systems, therefore improving care and the quality of life.

Current machine learning systems often lack understanding of the relationship between causes and effects in their domain. Causal reasoning is, therefore, being recognized as a missing piece in AI methods. Integrating causality into machine learning methods will be integral for designing next generation intelligent systems. The causality framework allows researchers to represent medical background knowledge in an explainable manner. Thus, causal AI promises to improve further personalised medical applications with trustworthy and fair decision-making.

In this context, the AICPM Symposium is calling for high-quality abstract submissions in the research field of AI and medicine, with the goal of promoting research development and agenda setting in this interdisciplinary domain. The research topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Specific uses and use cases of AI and ML in medical contexts, lessons learned and best practices
  • Reporting of specific data-intensive medical experiments
  • Prototypes of AI systems in medical applications, decision support systems
  • Machine learning approaches in medical applications
  • Causality of AI in personalised medicine
  • Trustworthy AI in personalised medicine
  • Ethical and fair AI in personalised medicine

You can submit your abstracts until 15 May the latest. Accepted abstracts will be notified by 1 July. Each submission is limited to a maximum of two pages. The abstracts can be submitted through EasyChair here.
