Image XD - 2023

April 6, 2023

Researchers from across domains (XD) that use imaging data participated in ImageXD 2023. The two day workshop brought together imaging experts from diverse fields such as medical, biodiversity, machine learning, and software development. Each day had a blend of talks in the morning with "unconference" breakout working groups that were decided daily based on overlapping interests and questions formed and posted as part of a community question board.
