Abstract
This volume contains the papers presented at the International Workshop DETERMINED 2022: Neu-
rodevelopmental Impairments in Preterm Children — Computational Advancements that was held at the
University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Computer and Information Science in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 26
August, 2022. The workshop, held in a hybrid mode, consisted of fourteen contributions: a keynote
speech given by Marinka Žitnik from Harvard Medical School and thirteen oral presentations based
on as many submissions accepted after a single-blind peer-review process. Each oral presentation was
complemented by a poster displayed throughout the workshop. The workshop organisers thank all
authors, contributors, and attendees to DETERMINED 2022.

1. Introduction
The first instalment of the DETERMINED 2022 international workshop was held at the University
of Ljubljana, Faculty of Computer and Information Science in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 26 August
2022. The workshop was held in conjunction with the machine learning training school that
has been organised in the framework of the PARENT project funded by the European Union’s
DETERMINED 2022: Neurodevelopmental Impairments in Preterm Children — Computational Advancements,
August 26, 2022, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie-Innovative
Training Network 2020, Grant Agreement N° 956394 (https://parenth2020.com/). The goal of
the DETERMINED 2022 workshop was to provide a unique forum for graduates, post-docs, and
other scientists to present and exchange new research and ideas for the advancement of early
diagnosis of motor and cognitive impairments in preterm children. This year the workshop
hosted an exciting keynote talk, oral presentations, poster exhibitions, and a networking event
to discuss such advancements.
DETERMINED 2022 was held in person with around fifty attendees. The whole workshop
was also streamed live via ZOOM.
2. Call for papers, submission, and peer-review process
The call for papers was published on the workshop website1 and distributed to the researchers
via e-mails. The invitation to participate in the workshop aimed to gather contributions in terms
of research ideas, research results, or literature reviews exploring technological innovations
related to neurodevelopmental disorders, focusing primarily on preterm infants. Contributions
targeted the following areas but not limited to:
• Machine Learning for Preterm Neonatal Care Applications;
• Big Data Analytics;
• Medical Image Processing and Signal Processing;
• Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs);
• Precision Medicine;
• Biology and Bioinformatics;
• Neuroscience and Computational Neuroscience;
• IoT for Healthcare;
• Computational Modelling in Biological Systems and Medicine.
Authors submitted the papers to the workshop via EasyChair2 conference management
system. The system was used also for gathering the reports from reviewers selected by the
scientific committee.
Each paper was reviewed by at least three independent reviewers through a single-blind
review process. Thirteen papers (out of 15 submitted) were accepted for an oral presentation at
the workshop.
3. Scientific Programme
DETERMINED 2022 opened with a keynote “Enabling scientific discovery using artificial intelli-
gence” given by Marinka Žitnik, an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard
Medical School. The keynote lecture was followed by the oral presentations given by the authors
of the accepted submissions. The presentations were organised in two sessions.

The oral presentations were supported by posters that were displayed during a co-located
training event of the PARENT project and during the workshop.
3.1. Keynote speaker
Marinka Žitnik is an Assistant Professor at Harvard University with appointments in the
Department of Biomedical Informatics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Harvard Data
Science. She studies applied machine learning with a focus on challenges in scientific discovery
and medicine. Her methods leverage biomedical data at the scale of billions of interactions
among millions of entities, blend machine learning with statistics and data science, and infuse
biomedical knowledge into deep learning. Problems she investigates are motivated by network
biology and medicine, genomics, drug discovery, and health.
Before joining Harvard, she was a postdoctoral scholar in Computer Science at Stanford
University. She was also a member of the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub at Stanford. She received
her bachelor’s degree, double majoring in computer science and mathematics, and her Ph.D.
in Computer Science from the University of Ljubljana. During her Ph.D. studies she was also
researching at Imperial College London, University of Toronto, Baylor College of Medicine, and
Stanford University.
