Causal inference is still a huge challenge for LLMs as shown in this #ICLR2024 paper from Bernhard Schölkopf team: arxiv.org/pdf/2306.05836

“we […] show that these models achieve almost close to random performance on the task.“

Roughly half of all #ICLR2024 submissions were co-written bei LLMs (LLMs were mostly involved at the sentence level)

🏆Big congratulations to Leonardo Ayala for being awarded the Helmholtz thesis award! Well-deserved recognition for taking an innovation all the way to patient studies. Project was conducted with Dogu Teber + team Sebastian Wirkert Tim Adler Anant Vemuri 🐜 and IMSY Lab (DKFZ) team 🙏

🔥Med-Gemini looks quite impressive:

I was particularly surprised to see surgical applications.

We are back this year with a record number of #Endovis sub-challenges #MICCAI2024

We are very excited to announce the next keynote speaker for our #SummerSchool for #AI in #Medicine ! Lena Maier-Hein joins us from the DKFZ to talk about Medical imaging AI in the wild - presenting novel solutions to roadblocks in image analysis. Join us: vanderschaar-lab.com/cambridge-ai-i…

🏆Congratulations to IMSY Lab (DKFZ) rising star Christoph Bender on receiving the BVM 2024 award for his thesis on hardware-related biases in photoacoustic imaging. Many thanks also to the BVM Community jury for selecting his work 🙏. Part of European Research Council (ERC) grant #NeuralSpicing

📢TRIPOD-AI is out! It was a great experience working with this professional team led by Gary Collins 🇪🇺🏆

WOW🍾🍾🍾! Was für eine Ehre! Die Auszeichnung geht im Prinzip an ein ganzes Team am Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg, NCT Heidelberg und IMSY Lab (DKFZ) inkl. Alumni Sebastian Wirkert Tim Adler Anant Vemuri 🐜 PD Dr. Felix Nickel Beat Müller Dogu Teber uvm! 🙏🙏🙏

💎Thank you for this paper David Rolnick (found by Paul F. Jäger)! I think the value and challenges of application-driven ML research are very often underrated!

🔥Very much looking forward to this highlight talk by rock star Mihaela van der Schaar on Wednesday 11am. Join us live or via Zoom🙌🏻. A joint NCT Heidelberg DKFZ Data Science ELLIS Life Heidelberg heidelberg.ai initiative

Speaking between giants Mihaela van der Schaar Michael Bronstein @ICLR in Vienna and others I will contribute a critical view on current biomedical imaging AI (Tuesday 2:15). 🤫🤫🤫Among others, I will sneak peak some recent unpublished results we obtained this week🔥

I'm very much looking forward to participating at the #EESAIBio workshop, run by EMBL Events, alongside a very inspiring line-up of experts in AI! It will be fascinating to bring #realitycentricAI into an event that tries to challenge the state of the art & push explainable AI!

🤖On the personalities of AIs. “ChatGPT-4 exhibits behavioral and personality traits that are statistically indistinguishable from a random human from tens of thousands of human subjects”. It behaves exceptionally altruistic.

💎Unexpected highlight: As someone who experiences motion sickness I am not easily impressed with VR. But the #VisionPro really takes VR to the next level. Get a demo - the immerse video is incredibly fascinating. Stefanie Speidel@NCTDresden and I were similarly impressed.

Impressive collection of #SurgicalDataScience projects presented by Stefanie Speidel@NCTDresden. Looking forward to more vision language research in surgery!

Our #CVPR2024 workshop 'DCA in MI' offers tracks for diverse submissions, ranging from original, late-breaking work to recently published papers!

We are looking forward to your submissions!
