Can object-centric representation learning and causal machine learning work together? Just over a decade after its initial release, Richard Szeliski has published the second edition of his all-encompassing textbook “Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications” . In our interview on page 16, he tells us what has changed (spoiler: a lot!) and how you can all download your very own free copy. In “Medical Imaging News” this month, we interview surgeon and researcher Pier Giulianotti , who has performed more than 5,000 robotic surgeries ! On page 24, he tells us all about his pioneering work. On page 28, Ioannis Valasakis reviews a topical deep learning framework paper called NaroNet: Discovery of Tumor Microenvironment Elements from Highly Multiplexed Images . “That’s been my dream!” Turn to page 38 to find out what has happened tomake former MICCAI Society president Wiro Niessen and his research team at Quantib so excited about the impact they are going to have on the lives of people with cancer. “I want to change medicine!” asserts Bettina Baessler , a brilliant radiologist and a research leader and educator in the field of radiomics. On page 44, she reveals all about how she is going to achieve this bold objective. We hope you enjoy another busy issue of our magazine – please tell your friends and colleagues all about us!
