About

Appointed Canada CIFAR AI Chair – 2020

Renewed Canada CIFAR AI Chair – 2025

Tal Arbel is a Canada CIFAR AI Chair at Mila and a professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University. She is a research director of the Probabilistic Vision Group, and Electrical & Computer Engineering “Medical Imaging Lab” at McGill University.

Arbel’s research focuses on development of probabilistic, deep learning methods in computer vision and medical image analysis, for a wide range of real-world applications, with a focus on neurological diseases. Arbel’s recent research goals are to develop new, causal models for image-based personalized medicine, where they have the potential to lead to concrete improvements in patient care. Her team is focused on the development of trustworthiness into the resulting models, including explainability, fairness and probabilistic outcomes, all of which are essential for the safety of their clinical adoption.
