Speakers & Hackathon

Rama A. Salhi,

Clinical Lecturer at University of Michigan

Approach to writing a scientific manuscript – Preparing your work for a successful submission

September 6th, 08:00

Bio: Rama is currently a National Clinician Scholar and a Physician/Clinical Lecturer in Emergency Medicine at the University of Michigan. She received a master’s degree in Epidemiology from Johns Hopkins University prior to completing her medical degree at Michigan State University. Most recently, she has completed a master’s degree in Health and Healthcare Research at the University of Michigan.

Her research focuses on the use of health systems science to identify and address quality gaps in health outcomes, specifically with respect to treatment of time-sensitive conditions in the prehospital and emergency department settings in the United States. She also currently leads a trainee program within the Acute Care Research Unit at the University of Michigan directed at teaching targeted research skills to researchers of all levels.

Abstract: In this introductory lecture, we will consider how one approaches a scientific manuscript. This will include how one begins to tackle the order of writing, as well as tips and tricks for improving the likelihood of acceptance in a scientific journal. The talk will include a worked example to illustrate the process.

Pierre-Nicolas Tiffreau,

Founder & CTO of Picsellia

Model is trained. What’s next? Road to Machine Learning in production

September 7th, 16:00

Bio: Pierre-Nicolas is a Computer Vision Engineer graduated from INP ENSEEIHT in Toulouse, France. There he studied various domains across signal and image processing, optimization and machine learning. He then co-founded Picsellia, a company developing end-to-end cloud solutions for AI development and his main interest today is MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) and how to help companies build and scale robust ML pipelines.

 

Abstract: Despite the huge rise of AI adoption in the last few years and the ambition for the years to come, it is a known fact that a majority of companies struggle to go beyond the ‘prototype’ or ‘test’ phase for their ML/DL projects.

But prototyping is only the first step of the whole AI lifecycle and knowing how to deploy and maintain models in production is critical if you want your business to benefit from those technologies.

During this talk, you are going to learn the tools and techniques needed to avoid the pitfalls when deploying models in production while handling a complete production pipeline, and how to implement them with a computer vision use-case.

Torbjörn Nordling,

Assistant Professor at the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan and Senior Lecturer at Umeå University

Computer Vision Based Assessment of Motor Skills—a Step Towards Digitalisation of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale

September 9th, 14:00

Bio: Dr. Torbjörn Nordling obtained both his Ph.D. in Automatic Control (2013) and his M.Sc. in Engineering Physics (2005) from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. He has specialised in Mathematical Modelling, System Identification, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning with applications mainly in Biology and Medicine. He has developed both new theory and methodology, most notably, for Robust Network Inference and Robust Variable Selection.

He is currently an Assistant Professor in Automatic Control at the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering at the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan since Sept. 2015. He is a Senior Lecturer in Media Technology at the Dept. of Applied Physics and Electronics at Umeå University in Umeå, Sweden since Jan. 2020. He is also a joint faculty of Miin Wu School of Computing, National Cheng Kung University in Tainan since its establishment June 2020. Previously he has done a PostDoc at the Dept. of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology at Uppsala University in Sweden. He has been a visiting researcher at Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine in Naples, Italy and ERATO Kitano Symbiotic Systems Project at Japan Science and Technology Agency in Tokyo, Japan.

He is the founder of Nordron AB—a startup specialised in data analysis, and a co-founder of Jagah Systems AB—an award-winning indoor geolocalisation startup—and ContentMap AB—an AI-powered SaaS platform for visualising, finding, and working with files and information, across multiple storage places and apps. He has been the CEO of the former for almost two years. He is an angel investor and advisor to numerous startups, including Darmiyan Inc. and Unity Chain Inc. in the U.S.A., Stakester Ltd., and Virtual Internship Partners Ltd. in U.K., and Trailze Ltd. in Israel. 

Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the 2nd most common form of neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. It is affecting ~1% of the population above 60 with increasing prevalence. Assessment of the motor function is needed to prescribe treatment and evaluate clinical trials. Currently the assessment is done by the physician watching and scoring movement tests in accordance with the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) on a scale 0 to 4. This scoring is coarse, subjective, time consuming, and expensive.

My vision is to contribute to the next revision of UPDRS—to use computer vision and AI to automate and digitalise the assessment. As steps towards this goal, we have developed a standardised experiment protocol for collection of video data for seven UPDRS motor examinations: finger tapping, hand movement, postural and rest tremor of hands, leg agility, toe tapping, and rest tremor of foot. We have also recorded data in the clinic for 18 PD and 20 control subjects and applied classic computer vision and signal processing methods for preliminary analysis.

In this lecture, I will show the experiment setup and some preliminary results. My aim is to provide an understanding of the problem and challenges from an engineers perspective and the road map forward in terms of development of computer vision and deep learning algorithms.

Anthony Newman,

Senior Publisher at Elsevier

How to write great papers and get them published

September 9th, 15:30

Bio: Anthony Newman, who is making the presentation today, is a Senior Publisher with Elsevier, and is based in Amsterdam. Currently responsible for seventeen laboratory medicine and biochemistry journals, he joined Elsevier over 30 years ago and has been Publisher for the last 20+ years. Before then he was the marketing communications manager for the biochemistry journals of Elsevier. By training he is a polymer chemist and was active in industry before leaving London and moving to Amsterdam in 1987 to join Elsevier.

He has presented hundred of author workshops both in person and virtually in the past 15+ years to thousands of participants and has always find it a rewarding process. He still gets asked questions now and again which really he has to think hard about to answer properly.

Abstract: Knowing the best way of structuring your paper when writing it, and the most appropriate journal to send it to, really helps in getting your paper accepted. Also understanding how editors and publishers think and what they expect, and knowing how the peer review process works, is an invaluable insight into the publishing process.

After attending this workshop, one in the Elsevier Researcher Academy on Campus workshop series, participants will have a clear idea of the steps needed to be taken before starting to write a paper including selecting the most appropriate journal to submit to. They will also be able to plan writing manuscripts using the logical step sequence – not the sequence in which the paper will be read. Authors are also made aware of what aspects of their papers Editors, Reviewers, and Publishers look at critically, and to ensure that in taking care of these areas, their papers are much more likely to be accepted. Dealing with referees’ comments and the art of polite rebuttal are also described such that these can be used to improve the submitted paper suitably. Sensitive areas such as publishing ethics, plagiarism, duplicate publishing, etc. are also clearly explained such that participants have a clear understanding of what their responsibilities are, what is allowed, and what is not permitted.

These insights into the publishing process will enable each participant to be more confident as an author in the world of science publishing, and so should help them get their papers published more easily.

About OpenCV

is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the commercial products. Being a BSD-licensed product, OpenCV makes it easy for businesses to utilize and modify the code.

The library has more than 2500 optimized algorithms, which includes a comprehensive set of both classic and state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning algorithms. These algorithms can be used to detect and recognize faces, identify objects, classify human actions in videos, track camera movements, track moving objects, extract 3D models of objects, produce 3D point clouds from stereo cameras, stitch images together to produce a high resolution image of an entire scene, find similar images from an image database, remove red eyes from images taken using flash, follow eye movements, recognize scenery and establish markers to overlay it with augmented reality, etc. OpenCV has more than 47 thousand people of user community and estimated number of downloads exceeding. The library is used extensively in companies, research groups and by governmental bodies.

Along with well-established companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Sony, Honda, Toyota that employ the library, there are many startups such as Applied Minds, VideoSurf, and Zeitera, that make extensive use of OpenCV. OpenCV’s deployed uses span the range from stitching streetview images together, detecting intrusions in surveillance video in Israel, monitoring mine equipment in China, helping robots navigate and pick up objects at Willow Garage, detection of swimming pool drowning accidents in Europe, running interactive art in Spain and New York, checking runways for debris in Turkey, inspecting labels on products in factories around the world on to rapid face detection in Japan.

It has C++, Python, Java and MATLAB interfaces and supports Windows, Linux, Android and Mac OS. OpenCV leans mostly towards real-time vision applications and takes advantage of MMX and SSE instructions when available. A full-featured CUDAand OpenCL interfaces are being actively developed right now. There are over 500 algorithms and about 10 times as many functions that compose or support those algorithms. OpenCV is written natively in C++ and has a templated interface that works seamlessly with STL containers.

About Luxonis

Our mission is to improve the engineering efficiency of embedding performant, spatial AI + CV into products. We do this by building and maintaining the open-source DepthAI ecosystem () which is also now the OpenCV AI Kit.

In other words, we build the core technology that allows human-like perception in real products – allowing 0-to-1 applications in nearly every industry. The technology allows solving problems that need human-like perception, but say in a 1″ cube. A good external writeup about Luxonis is on Bloomberg.

We are enabling what was science-fiction as of 2017:

  • Wearable devices that perceive the world and allow the blind to perceive through soundscapes
  • Embedded systems that can automatically protect endangered species
  • Robots that enable organic farming with zero chemicals (by using lasers to target weeds and pests)
  • Perception built into heavy machinery to real-time protect the health and safety of workers.
  • Perception built into remote areas to autonomously monitor and protect the environment from leaks and other hazardous conditions.
  • New forms of communication devices – bridging the gap between the in-person experience and the Zoom experience.

The above are just quick examples. There are countless solutions to fascinating problems being built off of our platform, with 15,000 devices shipped to date, in the hands of thousands of companies, some of which are working to integrate our technology into their own products.

We are a small startup with aims to have an outsized impact on the world. Still in the earliest stages, the solutions built with our technology have been covered in every top news, tech, and science publication in the world (Forbes, WSJ, Bloomberg, Washington Post, Engadget, etc.). We hold the records (independently) for the largest KickStarter raise for a computer vision project, for an AI project, and for a printed circuit board project.

Our mission is to materially improve the engineering efficiency of the world. This is what our team (and backers) previously did in another market (in business WiFi, with UniFi). And we now aim to do the same for this super-power of human-like perception in embedded systems – making it so prototyping with this power takes hours, and implementing it into a product is as fast as an enclosure can be designed and produced.

We are currently hiring:
