Machine Learning Researcher - Intern

Oct 2019Jun 2020 · 8 mos · San Francisco Bay Area

  • Worked in the Brain Networks Laboratory, Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging, UCSF, on a computer-vision project that used 3-D structural MRI brain scans to study tissue composition and neuro­degenerative disease.
  • Built a U-Net based multi-task learning model which performed 3D semantic image segmentation of brain sMRIs into White Matter, Grey Matter, and Cerebrospinal fluid and the classification task of labeling the brain sMRIs into the following categories - suffering from Alzheimer’s, suffering from MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment), normal. Achieved a 92% dice coefficient in the segmentation task and 62% accuracy in the classification task.
