[Dottorcomp] Insalate di Matematica - C. Mauri (Thursday 18/03)

[Mbs Insalate Di Matematica]

As part of the series of seminars *"Insalate di Matematica"*, Chiara Mauri,
PhD student at the Technical University of Denmark, will deliver an online
talk. Here the details:

*Date and time*: *18th March **2021, 2:00 pm*

*Title*: *"*Generative Bayesian Models for Brain Age Prediction
*"*

*Abstract*: Our brain continuously develops and changes during life-time
and recent researches show that we can predict a subject’s age right from
his/her brain scan. This brain-based predicted age measures our biological
age, which may differ from the chronological age. Since some neurological
diseases, e.g. Alzheimer, Multiple Sclerosis and Schizophrenia, are known
to cause an accelerated brain aging, predicting a subject’s brain age is a
useful screening tool to early detect the onset of such diseases. While the
majority of methods in the literature for brain age prediction are
discriminative models, the prediction method that we propose is a
generative Bayesian model, which yields interpretable predictions. The main
features and challenges of such models will be discussed.

*Keywords*: brain age, generative models, Bayesian inference, prediction
models.
