København S
The DASYA (DAta-intensive SYstems and Applications) group at the Computer Science Department of the IT University of Copenhagen invites strong and highly motivated individuals to apply for a PhD position starting 1 October 2021 or soon thereafter and for the duration of 3 years. The project is funded by the NovoNordisk Foundation project "CATS: Choosing A Transfer Source for medical image classification" is led by Dr. Veronika Cheplygina, Associate professor at ITU.
Project
Medical imaging algorithms, eg. for detection of abnormalities, are often trained via transfer learning - first on source (publicly available) images, and then on target (clinical) images. An important problem is how to choose the source data. A poor choice will impair the algorithm performance and waste computational resources. Our goal is to develop tools for choosing source data for given types of target data, by systematically studying transfer learning, and proposing dataset similarity measures that allow predicting good source datasets in advance.
The project will hire two PhD students, who will investigate different types of dataset similarities. This specific position on knowledge-driven similarities, for example based on judgments from experts.
The ideal applicant will have:
