Keynote
High-performance visual computing for large-scale biomedical image analysis
Speaker: Prof. Won-Ki Jeong
Keynote Speaker: Prof. Won-Ki Jeong
High-resolution, large-scale image data play a central role in biomedical research, but they also pose challenging computational problems for image processing and visualization in terms of developing suitable algorithms, coping with the ever-increasing data sizes, and maintaining interactive performance. Massively parallel computing systems, such as graphics processing units (GPUs) and distributed cluster systems, can be a solution for such computation-demanding tasks due to their scalable and parallel architecture. In addition, recent advances in machine learning can be another solution by shifting the time-consuming computing process into the training (pre-processing) phase and reducing prediction time by performing only one-pass deployment of a feed-forward neural network. In this talk, I will introduce several examples of such research directions from our work on large-scale biomedical image analysis using high-performance computing and machine learning techniques, for example, how to leverage parallel computing architecture and machine learning algorithms to accelerate tera-scale microscopy image processing and analysis for biomedical applications.
