VISCERAL Anatomy3 and Retrieval Workshops held
06/05/2015
Fourteen people attended the Multimedia Retrieval in the Medical Domain (MRDM) Workshop/workshops/mrmd-2015/, held on the 29th of March 2015 in conjunction with the European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR) in Vienna, Austria. The programme consisted of two invited speakers (Camille Kurtz of the University Paris Descartes and Eldad Elnekave of Zebra Medical Vision). Papers on multimodal medical information retrieval that passed a review process were also presented, as were papers presenting the results of participants of the VISCERAL Retrieval Benchmark. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the next months as Springer LNCS 9059. Read more >>
