Bio

Camila González is a postdoctoral scholar at the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory at Stanford University, where she develops continual learning methods suitable for dynamic settings with ongoing data collection. Her work has received multiple distinctions, including the MICCAI Young Scientist Award, the Francois Erbsmann Award at the Information Processing in Medical Imaging (IPMI) conference, and the Bildverarbeitung für die Medizin (BVM) award. She has been featured in outlets such as the Computer Vision News magazine and the AI-Ready Healthcare podcast. Outside her research, she presided over the MICCAI student board for two years and acted as Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) chair for ContinualAI. Last year, she co-organized the first MICCAI tutorial on Dynamic AI in the Clinical Open World (DAICOW), which will have its second edition in MICCAI 2024.

    Abstract

    As the enthusiasm surrounding Deep Learning grows, both medical practitioners and regulatory bodies are exploring ways to safely introduce image segmentation in clinical practice. One frontier to overcome when translating promising research into the clinical open world is the shift from static to continual learning. Continual learning, the practice of training models throughout their lifecycle, is seeing growing interest but is still in its infancy in healthcare. We present Lifelong nnU-Net, a standardized framework that places continual segmentation at the hands of researchers and clinicians. Built on top of the nnU-Net-widely regarded as the best-performing segmenter for multiple medical applications-and equipped with all necessary modules for training and testing models sequentially, we ensure broad applicability and lower the barrier to evaluating new methods in a continual fashion. Our benchmark results across three medical segmentation use cases and five continual learning methods give a comprehensive outlook on the current state of the field and signify a first reproducible benchmark.
