Dr. Bishesh Khanal was invited to speak at the 9th Summer School on AI at IIIT-Hyderabad, one of the most prominent annual events in South Asia for young AI researchers. This year’s theme focused on research-driven exploration of the foundations and frontiers of Artificial Intelligence with a special focus on machine learning and computer vision.

Dr. Khanal, Research Scientist leading the TOGAI research group at NAAMII, was among the 15 invited speakers. His session, “AI in Healthcare: Interesting Tasks and Challenges in Medical Imaging,” examined how deep learning is being used to detect, segment, and classify diseases from clinical images, while grappling with the complex, domain-specific real-world limitations.

Events like this offer a valuable way to open up conversations about the kinds of problems we work on at NAAMII. They help create space for more people, researchers, students, and institutions, to think about and engage with challenges that are often underrepresented in mainstream AI research.

Academic platforms like the IIIT-H Summer School offer one way to share our perspective, and we're glad to have contributed to this event.
