Mila organise son premier hackathon en informatique quantique le 21 novembre. Une journée unique pour explorer le prototypage quantique et l’IA, collaborer sur les plateformes de Quandela et IBM, et apprendre, échanger et réseauter dans un environnement stimulant au cœur de l’écosystème québécois en IA et en quantique.
Une nouvelle initiative pour renforcer les liens entre la communauté de recherche, les partenaires et les expert·e·s en IA à travers le Québec et le Canada, grâce à des rencontres et événements en présentiel axés sur l’adoption de l’IA dans l’industrie.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the spinal cord is relevant for studying sensation, movement, and autonomic function. Prepro… (voir plus)cessing of spinal cord fMRI data involves segmentation of the spinal cord on gradient-echo echo planar imaging (EPI) images. Current automated segmentation methods do not work well on these data, due to the low spatial resolution, susceptibility artifacts causing distortions and signal drop-out, ghosting, and motion-related artifacts. Consequently, this segmentation task demands a considerable amount of manual effort which takes time and is prone to user bias. In this work, we (i) gathered a multi-center dataset of spinal cord gradient-echo EPI with ground-truth segmentations and shared it on OpenNeuro https://openneuro.org/datasets/ds005143/versions/1.3.0, and (ii) developed a deep learning-based model, EPISeg, for the automatic segmentation of the spinal cord on gradient-echo EPI data. We observe a significant improvement in terms of segmentation quality compared to other available spinal cord segmentation models. Our model is resilient to different acquisition protocols as well as commonly observed artifacts in fMRI data. The training code is available at https://github.com/sct-pipeline/fmri-segmentation/, and the model has been integrated into the Spinal Cord Toolbox as a command-line tool.
