Overview

The goal is not only to provide psychiatrists with fabulous opportunities to expand their knowledge about ongoing AI research projects and innovative applications of ML for psychiatric disorders, but also to offer breathtaking advantages for the ML community to improve and enhance their applications by receiving valuable assessment from psychiatrists.

AI for Mental Disorders Workshop will present newly developed ML strategies that address challenges in accurately diagnosing mental diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease,schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, and other types of mental disorders. With the event we aim to discuss a combination of AI and virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to enhance the treatment of mental disorders. We expect to receive research papers associated with utilizing deep learning, statistical methods, reinforcement learning, unsupervised learning methods to analyze multi-modal imaging dataset, and developing AI applications for an early diagnosis, prognosis, and theragnosisof mental disorders.
