The focus of machine learning research on larger datasets, novelty and state-of-the-art results has lead to a lot of progress, but also has negative consequences such as propagating bias, a huge carbon footprint and de-democratization. We instead aim to recognize patterns within, and between problems with few examples, in particular related to the health domain. This includes:
- understanding similarity and diversity of datasets
- methods for learning with limited labeled data, such as transfer learning
- meta-research on machine learning in medical imaging
