Computational methods towards image-based biomarkers and beyond

Over the last decades the use of artificial intelligence techniques for biomedical data analysis has been incredibly popular and has opened numerous opportunities to improve medical diagnosis. Especially in the recent years, there has been a drastic development of large-scale databases (genomics, proteomics, imaging), which has given the opportunity to apply deep learning techniques. Particularly in computer vision, convolutional neural networks have rapidly become the tool of choice for the analysis of images.
