Topic: Computational Pathology encompasses algorithms and methods that answer scientific and clinical questions in pathology. In the few last years, traditional analyses are challenged with deep learning methods that allow for more standardised, robust and powerful applications. In this seminar, we will study recent research papers that develop or apply deep learning methods in a pathology context. Whenever possible, we will re-implement the applied methods, analyse the used technologies and discuss the biomedical and clinical implications. After succesful completion of the module, the students will be able to read and evaluate scientific literature on computational pathology, and they have learned how to extract computational content and re-implement parts of the analysis. Finally, the course will strengthen the presentation and discussion skills of the participants.
