The Dr. Robert Gillies Machine Learning Workshop in Image Analytics
On November 14 and 15, 2022, we hosted the Dr. Robert Gillies Machine Learning Workshop in Image Analytics.
The conference was held in memory of Dr. Robert Gillies.
The Dr. Robert Gillies Machine Learning Workshop in Image Analytics was the first annual conference in memory of Dr. Robert Gillies, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute.
A full itinerary of the events held can be found here: https://moffitt.org/research-science/divisions-and-departments/quantitative-science/machine-learning/news-and-events/
