Call for Papers: 4th International Conference on Medical Imaging with Deep Learning 2021

 

We welcome submissions, as full or short papers, for the 4th edition of Medical Imaging with Deep Learning (MIDL). Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic the conference is planned as a hybrid event (local + virtual) and is going to take place in Lübeck, Germany, July 7-9, 2021. The conference website can be found at

Aims and Scope

 

The conference is a forum for deep learning researchers, clinicians and health-care companies working at the intersection of medical image analysis and machine learning for healthcare and medicine, including disease detection, diagnosis, staging, prognosis, intervention, treatment selection and monitoring of disease progression.

 

MIDL has a broad scope, including all areas of medical image analysis and computer-assisted intervention, where deep learning is a key element. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Semantic segmentation of medical images
• Learning based image registration
• Computer-aided detection and diagnosis
• Image acquisition, reconstruction and synthesis
• Transfer learning and domain adaptation
• Learning with noisy labels and limited data
• Unsupervised deep learning and representation learning
• Uncertainty estimation for medical diagnosis
• Interpretability and explainable deep learning
• Integration of imaging and clinical data
• Validation studies and deep learning applications in radiology, pathology, endoscopy, dermatology, ophthalmology, and beyond

 

Inquiries to the program chairs can be addressed directly to pcs@2021.midl.io.

 

Two-Track Submissions

 

Conference submissions follow two tracks: full conference papers and short papers.

 

Full papers contain methodological developments or well-validated applications of deep learning algorithms in medical imaging. The paper length is strictly limited to 8 pages with as many pages as needed for the references and appendix section (all in a single pdf).

 

The papers will go through a full, single-blind reviewing process via OpenReview, with a two-week period for author rebuttal and discussion. A selection of full papers will be invited for oral presentation. All accepted full papers will be published as a volume in the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research.

 

Short papers are up to 3 pages and can, for example, focus on novel methodological ideas without extensive validation. We also specifically accept short papers discussing recently published or submitted journal contributions to give authors the opportunity to present their work and obtain feedback from conference attendees. Selection of short papers is based on a light single-blind review process via OpenReview, without a discussion period. All accepted short papers will be presented at the conference.

 

Special Issue

 

MIDL is going to have a Special Issue in MELBA (The Journal of Machine Learning for Biomedical Imaging). A selection of best full and short papers is going to be invited to submit an extended version of their work there.
