ABSTRACT
Manifold learning methods are adaptable data-representation techniques that enable dimensionality reduction and processing tasks in meaningful spaces. Their success in medical image analysis as well as in other scientific fields lies in both, their flexibility and the simplicity of their application. In medical imaging, manifold learning has been successfully used to visualize, cluster, classify and fuse high dimensional data, as well as for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), segmentation, registration, statistical population analysis and shape modelling and classification.

The purpose of this tutorial is to give an overview of manifold learning theory, methods and applications. The full-day tutorial will include an introductory part where the mathematical basis and a review of important algorithms for manifold learning are explained and a second part where its applications in medical imaging and computer-aided interventions are discussed in detail. The tutorial is organized by members of three groups involved in the state-of the art development of solutions based on manifold learning.
