Image-guided surgery (IGS) has gained widespread acceptance in various
clinical practices. Although the core concepts of IGS have not changed,
advances in image guidance technology, including the incorporation of
intra-operative imaging, sensing and augmented reality, have the
potential to enhance the safety of surgery, improve the accuracy of
interventions, and aid in more complete surgery, with improved outcomes.
In the past few years, significant progresses have been achieved in
developing novel intra-operative imaging means, in incorporating smart
sensing technology and in the introduction of new augmented reality display.
This Special Issue is open to research and review papers in this field,
including, but not limited to:
• Intra-operative imaging
• Robotic imaging
• Surgical imaging and vision
• Intra-operative sensing, perception and recognition
• Augmented reality in IGS
• Multi-modal image fusion and visualization

Dear reinforcement learning researchers,
We kindly invite you to participate in the next Belgium-Netherlands workshop on Reinforcement Learning (BeNeRL).
Date: The event is scheduled for Friday June 3, 2022, at Leiden University. Hopefully, by June the corona numbers have decreased enough again to have a physical event.
Programme: The BeNeRL is a one-day informal workshop, which features several invited speakers and plenty of time for interaction among participants. We especially invite PhD students to bring along a poster.
Registration: For full details on the programme, and a link for registration, please visit: https://rlg.liacs.nl/benerl-2022. Please register as soon as possible, so we can try to arrange additional capacity if necessary.
Forward: It is unlikely we managed to gather all relevant email addresses - please forward this email within your institute, or to any colleague who would be interested.
Hope to see you in June!
Kind regards,
Thomas Moerland & Aske Plaat
Vacancy: Postdoc Position in Causality for Domain Adaptation and Optimization (University of Amsterdam)
=======================================================================================================
Are you passionate about causality and its applications to domain adaptation and optimization? We have a vacancy for a postdoctoral researcher in the recently established Mercury Machine Learning Lab (MMLL). In this lab, researchers from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will be working together with data scientists from Booking.com to develop the statistical and machine learning foundations for a new generation of recommendation systems. Motivated by real-world problems faced in industry, we will investigate fundamental problems regarding generalization and bias removal in data analysis, and develop more usable machine learning and reinforcement learning techniques.
The successful candidate will be based in the Korteweg-De Vries Institute of the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, under supervision of prof. dr. Joris Mooij.
Application closing date: February 28, 2022
Preferred starting date: Early 2022
Duration: 4 years
