Recent advances in AI and machine/deep learning have witnessed great success in medical image computing. Dr. Zhang and his colleagues have designed and developed novel computing models and methods (including Machine Learning/Deep Learning and Statistical Analysis methods) to solve medical imaging tasks such as image segmentation, registration and classification, and clinical problems such as disease classification and between-population statistical analysis.
