Seminar of Algorithms of Saclay Plateau: Niklas Kormann on Thursday 12 June 2025 at 15h00

===== Seminar "Algorithms of Saclay Plateau" =====

Dear all,

For the next seminar of the seminar "Algorithms of Saclay Plateau", we are happy to welcome Niklas Kormann.

***** Thursday 12 June 2025 at 15h00, Henri Poincaré *****

Niklas Kormann -- Graph Neural Networks for Glomeruli Health Classification in Histopathology

In this talk, I will present the results of my internship and master's thesis on the application of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in histopathology for the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Histopathology is a branch of medical diagnostics based on the microscopic analysis of human tissue. I will begin by outlining the challenges of diagnosing CKD and introducing the domain and the associated learning task. Next, I will explain how the problem can be approached from a graph learning perspective and describe the methods we used to construct graphs from whole slide images (WSIs), representing cells as nodes. To ensure the talk is accessible to a broad audience, I will introduce the basic concepts of graph representation learning, which form the foundation of the methods applied. Finally, I will present the specific architecture we developed and share benchmark results comparing it to state-of-the-art approaches.


Next seminar will be on Friday 13 June 2025 at 13h30 by Luis Cristóbal Rojas: On limitations of LLMs..
