ICCV 2025 (PHAROS Workshop)

We are proud to announce that our paper titled “Dopamine-Inspired Neuro-Modulated Radiomic Pipeline for Computed-Tomography-Driven Prediction of Immunotherapy Response in Metastatic Cancer Treatment” has been accepted at the “PHAROS: Adaptation, Fairness, Explainability in AI Medical Imaging” Workshop in conjuction with the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2025).

This work introduces a novel biologically-inspired computational framework that integrates dopamine-inspired neuro-modulation mechanisms into ad-hoc hybrid spatio-temporal augmented deep pipeline for enhanced prediction of PD-L1 inhibitors immunotherapy response from patients CT scans imaging. This work introduces a novel bio-inspired mechanism that emulates dopaminergic action in the human brain, to address the “stability-plasticity” dilemma in deep learning systems.
We believe this interdisciplinary contribution bridges neuroscience, medical imaging, and AI-driven oncology.
We look forward to sharing our findings and engaging with the research community in Honolulu Hawaii this October.
Stay tuned for more details and the official preprint release.
