This talk aims to provide an overview of our group’s advancements of data processing theories in medical image analysis. The talk will begin with an introduction to deep learning and its vital networks, such as convolutional neural network, advanced pooling networks, graph convolutional networks, attention neural networks, weakly supervised networks, vision transformers, etc. We will explore how these neural networks can be tailored and applied to various medical imaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and histopathology slides. Furthermore, we will discuss the challenges faced in data processing for medical image analysis, such as limited labelled data, class imbalance, and interpretability, and delve into the theories and techniques employed to mitigate these issues. |

Title：Research on distributed few-shot learning and few-shot generation learning Abstract：Few-shot learning is a field that aims to tackle the challenge of achieving high performance on new data when there is only a limited amount of training data. In recent years, it has made significant progress and shown effective applications in various domains, such as computer vision and natural language processing. This presentation will introduce distributed few-shot learning and few-shot generation from different perspectives. In the field of distributed few-shot learning, we present methods based on distribution estimation and representation topology optimization, which take into account data privacy issues. We also introduce federated learning, which is based on gradient selection and client customization, to provide customized services while ensuring data privacy. In the domain of few-shot generation, we introduce methods based on frequency domain decomposition, prototype estimation, and latent space editing that achieve high-quality image generation. Finally, we discuss and introduce strategies on how to design more effective models, address differences in research problems, and fully exploit limited data to enhance the performance of few-shot learning. |
