Scaling up Vision Transformers for Biomarkers in Liver Disease
Objectives
![](/fileadmin/_processed_/0/a/csm_BMBF_gefoerdert_vom_deutsch_d14b281bbd.jpg)
Transform Liver aims to leverage the new artificial intelligence technology of Vision Transformers to process histopathological and clinical data of patients with liver diseases.
Specifically, Transform Liver aims to
- Generate new biomarkers to predict disease outcome and provide information for personalised treatment. These biomarkers aim to outperform classical neural-network-based approaches.
- Yield a better understanding of disease systems in the liver, specifically cellular interactions, by using explainability approaches on trained Transformers.
