From natacha.beck at mcgill.ca Wed Aug 1 12:43:37 2018 From: natacha.beck at mcgill.ca (Natacha Beck, Ms) Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2018 16:43:37 +0000 Subject: [BIC-announce] ADM presentation (August 2) Message-ID: Hi all, On August 2nd Pierre will give the last part of his presentation about CBRAIN. It will be at 1 pm in the De Grandpre room. Here is a reminder about his presentation subject: The CBRAIN Architecture This will be the first of a series of two or three presentations intended to describe CBRAIN's core architecture and internal features. The target audience are developers who are not already familiar with Ruby and Rails, and so the talk will start with about 15 slides on the Ruby language's particularities, then another 15 slides about Rails, and then finally we will dive into CBRAIN. Non-programmers are absolutely welcome to all parts of the presentation too, as most of the subjects discussed can be understood by anyone. See you there.

We recently ran a blind challenge of prediction of Autism spectrum disorder diagnostic status. The 10 winning solutions scored on average 0.81 area under the ROC curve, which is a very good prediction score. This confirms our experience that combining machine learning with MRI can lead to robust biomarkers. I will talk about what this challenges teaches us: tackling heterogeneity and overfit, and the importance of resting-state fMRI. I will show that its findings are consistent with other studies of biomarkers extractions. Moving back in time, I will summarize what we have learned over the years on biomarker extraction from MRI, in particular from resting-state fMRI.

His research develops statistical learning tools for functional neuroimaging data with application to mapping brain of cognition and pathologies. In addition, he is heavily invested in software development for data science, as project-lead for scikit-learn, one of the reference machine-learning toolboxes, and on joblib, Mayavi, and nilearn. Varoquaux has contributed key methods for functional brain atlasing, extracting brain connectomes, population studies, as well as efficient models for high-dimensional data-scarce machine learning beyond brain imaging. He has a PhD in quantum physics and is a graduate from Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris. Abstract: Brain decoding, predicting mental process recruited based on observed brain activity, is a central tool to characterize the functions of a brain structure. Such conclusion based on a standard analysis of an fMRI experiment would indeed be an invalid reverse inference. I will describe our progress using decoding for brain mapping. To come to general conclusions on the function of a brain region, it is also necessary to explore a vast repertoire of cognitive function. Doing so requires joint analysis of many studies. Such an analysis enables going beyond the idiosyncrasies of a study, but it requires describing a huge variety tasks with a common vocabulary. On 30 different fMRI studies, we describe experiment conditions with 20 different experimental-psychology notions [Schwartz NIPS 2013]. Using a predictive model that leverages contrasts between conditions with similar stimuli, we can describe a completely new experiment with these notions. Importantly, prediction is perform on unseen studies, thus validating that the decoder has learned maps specific to the notion of interest, and not to the experimental paradigm. A precious outcome is a "reverse inference" atlas of the predictive regions for these notions. >From a statistical modeling standpoint, the challenge is that machine learning models are not only used for their predictions, but also in an inverse problem settings, to recover discriminant regions. Given the scarcity of data and the dimensionality of the brain images, the problem is very ill-posed and requires injecting various priors. I will summarize five years of research in developing and validating regularizations that encode efficiently priors well suited for neuroimaging, in particular to segment and outline brain regions. Specifically, these draw ideas from total-variation [Michel TMI 2011] or randomized-clustering [Varoquaux ICML 2012] approaches, and have resulted in stable, fast, and powerful decoders [Hoyos-Idrobo 2017].

If you miss the deadline and would like to attend please contact Janet Delsey, delsey at mcmaster.ca ? Machine Learning for Brain Health Symposium Registration closes Friday, August 31 Free for students and post-docs WORLD RENOWNED EXPERTS - VIEW AGENDA HERE The machine learning paradigm is a major new frontier in brain research. It has been used for multiple purposes relating to disorders of consciousness and for diagnosing and treating psychiatric illness. It is also the driving engine behind brain-computer interfaces. This symposium is a venue for expanding on the current understanding of the interactions between machine learning and brain health. A group of renowned local, national and international speakers will be discussing diverse topics such as archiving brain data in various forms, the role of machine learning as it relates to mental health and disorders of consciousness, and neuro-engineering applications of machine learning. Participants at the event will gain an opportunity to interact with prominent researchers in the field, and will also be exposed to the latest ideas in this emerging and exciting area of research. Researchers are invited to submit a poster on their recent work relating to machine learning; brain modeling; neural data analysis or neuro imaging.
