Today we finally took the time out of the always-busy schedule of writing grants and papers and created an initial version of the DeepMI Lab Webpage. This step has long been overdue and we are happy to present it to the world. There has been a long discussion how to solve mutliple problems at the same time:

• how can we have a webpage that is flexible, yet easy to maintain for more than one curator
• how can we represent the fact that the Lab is associated across multiple institutions
• how can we version control the page, edit quickly without local IT
• where can we host it
• and how should we even call the lab (I vetoed Reuter-Lab)

The first few points were solved by starting with github.io and jekyll - easy. The name was another beast! The Lab’s background is in developing computational methods for medical image analysis. We did this since 2008 and recently people like to call it AI (basically whenever a computer does something cool, like analyze an image). Most of our recent methods are deep-learning based, extending existing architectures for specific goals, e.g. brain MRI segmentation. This is why Deep Medical Imaging Lab (DeepMI) was selected. Yet, we are not limited to deep-learning and have a lot of work on traditional methods (robust image registration, shape analysis, geometry processing etc). So expect to see some variety.

We hope you enjoy this site. Please contact us with any comments. We look forward hearing from you …
