Image synthesis and efficient data representations for visual machine learning

Driven by the high accuracy and performance of deep learning algorithms in computer vision tasks, we are investigating the use and production of highly realistic training data-sets for computer vision applications.

Moreover, we explore variations of abstracted data representations in order to further understand how data features at different abstraction levels affect the learning process in deep neural networks, and how this can be used to optimize the data generation and usage.

Visualization for understanding and developing machine learning

Machine learning is deployed in a wide range of application domains. As with most large-scale data driven approaches it is hard to analyze and understand what is the underlying learned model, how accurate is it, and exactly how it is solved.

Orchestrating machine learning development in complex medical imaging environments

Even though machine learning algorithms have shown promising results in many medical image analysis tasks there are still a lot of challenges that need to be solved before these advances can be used in clinical practice.

Interaction with autonomous agents for medical decision support

The aim of the research is to explore the interaction between humans and computers by the design of contexts that create efficient ensembles of medical practitioners and learning machines.

visual methods to guide and focus the user’s attention

Focal/peripheral data visualization for industrial control rooms

The amount of operation and maintenance data delivered to the industrial control room operator grows manifold. In the scope of a PhD project, we are working with the problem of information overload.

Automatic pattern tracking and visualization for decision support

Monitoring autonomous systems plays a key role in understanding the systems’ functionality and in ensuring their safety. Without appropriate data reduction and visual support this is hardly possible.
