Medical Open Network for AI (MONAI), AI Toolkit for Healthcare Imaging

The MONAI framework is the open-source foundation being created by Project MONAI. MONAI is a freely available, community-supported, PyTorch-based framework for deep learning in healthcare imaging. It provides domain-optimized foundational capabilities for developing healthcare imaging training workflows in a native PyTorch paradigm.

Machine learning in medicine: a practical introduction

Machine learning in medicine: a practical introduction

Following visible successes on a wide range of predictive tasks, machine learning techniques are attracting substantial interest from medical researchers and clinicians. We address the need for capacity development in this area by providing a conceptual introduction to machine learning alongside a practical guide to developing and evaluating predictive algorithms using freely-available open source software and public domain data

Montreal AI Ethics Institute: Response to the European Commission’s white paper on AI

Montreal AI Ethics Institute: Response to the European Commission’s white paper on AI

In February 2020, the European Commission (EC) published a white paper entitled, On Artificial Intelligence – A European approach to excellence and trust. This paper outlines the EC’s policy options for the promotion and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the European Union. We reviewed this paper and published a response addressing the EC’s plans to build an “ecosystem of excellence” and an “ecosystem of trust,” as well as the safety and liability implications of AI, the internet of things (IoT), and robotics.

A Rigorous Analysis of Self‐Adaptation in Discrete Evolutionary Algorithms

A Rigorous Analysis of Self‐Adaptation in Discrete Evolutionary Algorithms

A key challenge to making effective use of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) is to choose appropriate settings for their parameters. However, the appropriate parameter setting generally depends on the structure of the optimization problem, which is often unknown to the user. Non‐deterministic parameter control mechanisms adjust parameters using information obtained from the evolutionary process.

Explaining Autonomous Driving by Learning End-to-End Visual Attention

Explaining Autonomous Driving by Learning End-to-End Visual Attention

In this work we propose to train an imitation learning based agent equipped with an attention model. The attention model allows us to understand what part of the image has been deemed most important. Interestingly, the use of attention also leads to superior performance in a standard benchmark using the CARLA driving simulator.
