Cancer Image Detection With PyTorch (Part 3 iBest Workshop)

This project uses deep learning in PyTorch and computer vision techniques to develop an algorithm to identify metastatic cancer in small image patches obtained from larger digital pathology scans. The project's objectives are to set up the necessary environment, install and import required libraries, and perform data preparation for the model training. The project leverages pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and transfer learning to improve the model's performance.

Alice Rueda

Postdoctoral Fellow

Alice is a postdoctoral fellow and AI Lead at the Interventional Psychiatry Program, St. Michael’s Hospital and iBEST Trainee Lead. Alice completed her doctoral degree in electrical engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), Toronto, ON in 2021. After working in the industry for more than a decade, I decided to pursuit my doctoral degree in 2016. I received a bachelor degree in electrical engineering and a master degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB in 1994 and 1999, respectively. I was awarded an (honoris causa) Doctor of Laws degree from Brock University, St. Catharines, ON in 2020. I specialize in signal processing and applications of machine learning. I am currently serving as the Secretary for the IEEE Signal Processing Toronto Chapter, an affiliated member of the IEEE Machine Learning for Signal Processing, and a reviewer for IEEE conferences. Alice had also served as the Director of Machine Learning at Aggregate Intellect in 2022.
