Antonio Morais: A Bayesian approach to machine learning model comparison

Posted on Mon 28 February 2022 in theses

Performance measures are an important component of machine learning algorithms. They are useful when it comes to evaluate the quality of a model, but also to help the algorithm improve itself. When used in small data sets, these measures may not properly express the performance of the model. That is when confidence intervals and credible regions can be useful. Expressing the performance measures in a probabilistic setting allows one to develop them as distributions. One can then use those distributions to establish credible regions.

WIP: Intepretable Classification: Chest X-Rays

Posted on Wed 14 April 2021 in research

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death from a single infectious agent. In many high-burden regions around the world, which often lack specialized healthcare professionals, Chest X-Ray (CXR) exams continue to be of vital importance in the diagnosis and follow-up of the various presentations of the disease. In this context, we investigate the benefits of automatic Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) detection methods from these images.

Semantical Segmentation: Retinography

Posted on Wed 14 April 2021 in research

Semantical segmentation of eye fundus structures, and disease detection from retinography, play a key role in mass screening using this tecnology. Despite the incredible progress in these fields, the lack of annotated images (due to cost), and rigor in the comparison of trained models has led to the conclusion larger and more dense network models provide more accurate results for such tasks. We present our findings on different architectures and databases in this context.

Reproducible Research

Posted on Wed 01 January 2020 in research

Reproducible research not only leads to proper scientific conduct but also provides other researchers the access to build upon previous work. Most importantly, the person setting up a reproducible research project will quickly realize the immediate personal benefits: an organized and structured way of working. The person that most often has to reproduce your own analysis is your future self!

WIP: Vital Sign Analysis: Decompensation

Posted on Fri 20 September 2019 in research

Early and accurate prediction of decompensation (functional deterioration) in patients in domestic settings may help prevent deaths. Based on values that can be measured from portable devices such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, systolic blood pressure, temperature, and age, we study the prediction capability of machine learning algorithms to determine patient decompensation (death) in the next 24 hours.

Remote Photoplethysmography

Posted on Tue 20 November 2018 in research

We address the problem of reproducible research in remote photo-plethysmography (rPPG). Most of the work published in this domain is assessed on privately-owned databases, making it difficult to evaluate proposed algorithms in a standard and principled manner. As a consequence, we present a new, publicly available database containing a relatively large number of subjects recorded under two different lighting conditions. Also, three state-of-the-art rPPG algorithms from the literature were selected, implemented and released as open source free software. After a thorough, unbiased experimental evaluation in various settings, it is shown that none of the selected algorithms is precise enough to be used in a real-world scenario.

Reproducible Research for Pattern Recognition

Posted on Wed 22 July 2015 in courses

This is a course on Reproducible Research (RR) for research engineers working with software applications in Pattern Recognition (PR) and Machine Learning (ML). It motivates and explains concepts behind RR, an increasing trend in scientific publications in this niche, its implications and tools for implementing it on an individual or group levels. It is a hands-on course in the sense students will be required to create their own workflows for selected problems in ML and PR. By the end of this course, students should understand the basic concepts of reproducibility, its importance on their daily practice and how to achieve it with freely available tools and environments.
