Time: 2025-03-10 23:08:00

At 10:00 a.m. on March 10, Professor Yanwei Chen of Ritsumeikan University, Japan, visited the Laboratory for Machine Learning and Computational Optimization at the School of Mathematical Sciences, South China Normal University, and gave an academic lecture entitled "Knowledge-Guided Deep Learning for Enhanced Medical Image Segmentation". The lecture was chaired by Professor Ye Qi and held in Lecture Room 111 of the West Building of the School of Mathematical Sciences.

Professor Chen is an internationally renowned scholar who was elected a foreign member of the Engineering Academy of Japan in 2024. He has worked in computer vision and artificial intelligence for nearly forty years, has published more than 200 papers in leading journals and conferences, and ranks among the top 2% of scientists worldwide in research impact. In this lecture he addressed technical bottlenecks in medical image analysis and presented two innovative lines of work: a "deep atlas prior" framework that incorporates anatomical atlas knowledge into deep learning, and a multimodal medical image segmentation technique guided by clinicians' professional language, offering new ideas for the precise clinical deployment of AI. Algorithms developed by his team have achieved breakthrough results in leading journals such as IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging. The visit further strengthened cooperation between the two universities in intelligent medicine.
