Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) algorithms are currently transforming biomedical research, especially in the context of cancer research and clinical care. Despite the tremendous potentials in automating workflow, personalizing care, and reducing health disparity, to name a few prospects, their application in oncology and healthcare has been limited in scope with less than 5% of major healthcare providers implementing any form of AI/ML solutions. This can be attributed to multitude of concerning issues regarding the deployment of AI/ML driven technologies into the clinic. These concerns include but not limited to skepticism related to commercialization hype, under representative training data, inherent implementation bias, lack of robustness and absence of prediction transparency. In this work, we will discuss some of these impending challenges and highlight different approaches for detecting and mitigating such bias in implementing clinical AI/ML algorithms. We further show examples of applying these approaches in oncology applications from our work and others and discuss their implications to pave the way for AI/ML in clinical practice.

AMPICON2021
Topic: Artificial Intelligence - An Emerging Trend in Medical Physics
Abstract: The 42nd Annual Conference of Association of Medical Physicists of India (AMPICON2021) will take place in Bangalore, Karnataka hosted by Healthcare Global Enterprises Ltd., in association with AMPI-Karnataka Chapter during 19th -21st May 2022. The theme of the conference is “Artificial Intelligence -An Emerging Trend in Medical Physics”. The conference deliberations will cover each and every aspect of applications of physics in medicine including current and future technologies in imaging science and Radiotherapy. About 700+ delegates including researchers, academicians, scholars, and students are expected to participate in person at the conference. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the event was postponed twice, and now as all restrictions are relaxed, including international travel, more participants are expected to attend the event, including delegates from neighboring countries. We are requesting Dr. Issam El Naqa as our invited faculty to speak on the theme topic of the conference in-person (he has consented earlier for a video presentation due to travel restrictions).

26th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence ECAI 2023
Topic: Towards Trustworthy AI for Clinical Oncology
Blurb: Artificial intelligence (AI)) and Machine learning (ML) algorithms are currently transforming
biomedical research, especially in the context of cancer research and clinical care. Despite the
anticipated potentials, their application in oncology and healthcare has been limited in scope with
less than 5% of major healthcare providers implementing any form of AI/ML solutions. This is
partly attributed to concerning issues that AI/ML driven technologies instead of reducing
healthcare disparities would exacerbate existing racial and gender equity due to inherent bias and
lack of prediction transparency. In this work, we will present different approaches for detecting
and mitigating such bias in AI/ML algorithms. We further show examples of implementing these
approaches in oncology applications from our work and others and discuss their implications for
the future of AI/ML.
