CARTE AI/DS Seminar Series: Knowledge-Based Planning: Prediction, Optimization, and Open-Access Advances

January 18, 2023 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm

The Joint CARTE (University of Toronto) and University of Seoul Applied AI/DS seminar series welcomes Professor Timothy Chan.

Registration: Please register through here.

Abstract: In this talk, I will present recent work our group has done in knowledge-based planning, including the development of dose prediction and optimization models. I will also discuss the organization and results of the Open Knowledge-Based Planning Challenge (OpenKBP), an AAPM-sponsored international competition to compare dose prediction models on a large open-access dataset of head-and-neck cancer patients. Finally, I will present follow-up work from an international collaboration that extends OpenKBP to include plan optimization.
