50 Image Registration Workshop plenty of time for interaction between participants outside the seminar room , who were happy to be back together. They took the opportunity to network during the day and went out together in the evening. The meeting size is beneficial for young scientists, who can more easily reach out to everyone, be it a professor or a fellow PhD candidate, in a smaller setting than some of the larger events. WBIR has settled into a biennial format, with the next event planned for 2024. “ We were able to convince Maria Vakalopoulou , one of our keynote speakers, to organize it together with MarcModat , so we have a new location in France, ” Mattias reveals. “ Maria is a great keynote speaker because she connects the world of computer vision with the world of medical imaging . She did a brilliant job showing how classical feature extractors used primarily in vision No successful event goes off without a hitch, and Mattias is already laughing as he recalls what happened in the first session, so it falls to Alessa to fill us in. “ We had some technical problems, in the beginning, getting the Zoom room shown on the screen, ” she tells us. “ Then the projector just turned off. For a brief period, the Zoom participants had a better experience than the in-person participants because we had no screen, so no presentations. ” Mattias continues: “ The funny part was that the virtual session chair, Matthew Toews, who probably had the best overview of what was going on because his connection was always there, filled the gaps when we tried to figure out the technical issues by playing the harmonica! Everyone enjoyed that. ” WBIR is a small community, so there was Her perspective on how deep learning can improve registration in medical imaging was fascinating!
