This webinar will start at 5 pm CEST, 6 pm EEST, 11 am pm EDT
AI model development used to be a marathon of data and time, but we have built a shortcut. Join Aiforia’s CPO and Director of Software Development to discover how Aiforia’s Foundation Engine elevates your research and diagnostics.
This session explores the design principles of Aiforia’s Foundation Engine and explains how this patent-pending technology sets a new benchmark for high-performance pixel-level image analysis and clinical-grade quality.
Panu Kauppila, M.Sc. (Tech.), Aiforia’s Chief Product Officer, together with Yrjö Häme, Ph.D., Aiforia’s Director of Software Development, explain how pre-trained foundation models reduce AI model development timelines, improve robustness, and, when combined with pathologists’ task-specific annotations, provide even greater precision in clinical workflows. They will dive into Foundation Engine’s unparalleled technological architecture and capabilities, enabling faster development and better generalization than with models based on convolutional neural networks.
What will the session cover
- Technology: analyzing the “under the hood” mechanics that power the Foundation Engine
- Benefits: maximizing AI model development throughput and expert-level precision with significantly less training data and manual effort while remaining cost-effective
- Integration: how to access and deploy Foundation Models within the platform
- Practical examples: real-world use cases and performance results in Aiforia.
Who should join?
- Clinical pathologists seeking more robust and transparent AI tools
- Digital pathology innovators looking for the ultimate shortcut to high-performance AI models
- Researchers aiming to scale their throughput with less training data
- Lab directors and managers aiming to increase diagnostic throughput and ensure reproducibility across clinical workflows
