The Centre for Research on
Communicable Diseases (CRCD) in collaboration with the Centre for Biomedical
and Nutrition Research (CBNR) organised a webinar titled Artificial
Intelligence in Biomedical Research and Education on 27 July 2022 via Zoom.
It attracted a total of 150 participants.
The objective of the webinar was
to provide participants with a better understanding of artificial
intelligence and its usage in various aspects of life including healthcare
and education.
Speaking at the webinar was
Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Sciences (PIEAS) Prof Dr Asifullah
Khan who presented on Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Its
Applications in Medical Image Analysis. In his session, he spoke about
Machine Learning, DNN and CNN, Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, Channel
Boosted CNN, and Deep CNN for medical image analysis.
Prof Dr Asifullah said,
“Artificial Intelligence is a programme that can sense, reason, act and
adapt, while machine learning is algorithms whose performance improve as
they are exposed to more data over time. Deep learning, on the other hand,
is a subset of machine learning in which multilayered neural networks learn
from vast amounts of data.”

MyEdu AI Robotics Research Centre
Dr Jeffrey Tan Too Chuan presented in the following session. In his
presentation titled The Advancement of AI Robotics in Medicine and
Healthcare: Are We Ready?, he spoke about AI robotics education for
everyone, AI robotics application in medicine and healthcare, and AI
robotics education for medicine and healthcare students.
As Dr Jeffrey Tan explained about
AI in healthcare, he said, “AI is used in medical imaging to screen cancers,
diagnose infection of kidney and liver, detect brain tumour, dental imaging
analysis and many more.” Dr Tan also spoke about natural language
processing, surgical robots, AI for rehabilitation, healthcare system
innovations and other related topics.
