DescriptionWe know that change generally takes five to 10 years at best to become realized within society. With that being true, predictors were in place five years ago that could have given us insight into what our world might look like today. This talk discusses current trends in place today that might tell us what the future could look like in five to 10 years. The future is waiting.

DescriptionAs CG reaches a cusp where we can mimic visual reality, we are challenged to use it for solving complex analytical problems in the world around us. Intersecting deep learning and artificial intelligence with advanced graphics provides groundbreaking new approaches. Specifically in the field of Biomed, this session discusses examples ranging from computer vision in microscopy to computer learning to recognize cancer cell anomalies in a pathology dashboard of the future.
