About this Class

Learn about the Federated Learning-based AI in Multi-Modal Exploration (FLAIMME) consortium—a collaboration between NCI and NCI-designated cancer centers seeking to advance multimodal clinical oncology.

 

Dr. Ghulam Rasool from the Moffitt Cancer Center will present:

  • how consortium participants are exploring the application of foundational models for clinical applications all while retaining patient-level data.
  • an initial use case for adapting models to pathology reports and extracting structured cancer variables relevant to downstream clinical applications.
  • the federated architecture.
  • practical challenges with multi-institutional training.
  • preliminary observations from ongoing experiments and lessons informing continued work.

Whether you’re interested in the power of privacy-preserving foundational models or the collaborative nature of federated learning networks, register to learn more!
