Data sets for machine learning based approaches for non-contact dermoscopy

We present an overview of the online datasets meant for machine learning algorithms. As the saying goes, “An algorithm can be only as good as the data set”. 

The importance of Early Detection in the light of COVID-19

Melanoma has a poor prognosis with median survival of 6-9 months in the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment.

The challenges of infusing privacy and compliance technologies in the iToBoS project

In any data processing project that deals with personal information there is an inherent tradeoff between safeguarding data subjects’ privacy and yielding useful and accurate insights from the data.

Evaluating AI Explanations with Quantus

The transparency of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models is an essential criterion for the deployment of AI in high-risk settings, such as medical applications. Consequently, numerous approaches for explaining AI systems have been proposed over the years (Samek et al., 2021).

Color perception from a technical perspective

In this blogpost we want to talk about color from a technical perspective. As you might already know, dermatologists use the ABCDE-criterium for the diagnosis of melanoma.

[FR] L'intelligence artificielle, qu'est-ce que c'est?

L’intelligence artificielle (l’IA) soulève aussi bien des questionnements philosophiques qu’informatiques, chacun a sa petite idée au sujet des IA. Mais qu’en savons-nous vraiment? 

Beyond Explaining: Opportunities and Challenges of XAI-Based Model Improvement

The work "Beyond Explaining: Opportunities and Challenges of XAI-Based Model Improvement", supported by iToBoS project, has been published.

What is polarized light?

In the iToBoS scanner, polarized light will be used to illuminate the skin of the patient. In this blogpost we want to explore what it means when we are talking about optical polarization.

Skin cancer, AI detection of melanoma and 100+ other types of skin tumors 

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. In the US alone, between 3 to 5 million new cases are reported each year, with treatment costs of approximately $9 billion.

Digital trends in the health sector

iToBoS members attended the Mobile World Congress not only to present the project proposal and receive feedback from the ecosystem, but also to discover and learn more about the latest trends in IT solutions applied to personalized medicine.
