Experiences

Semi-supervised Domain Generalization for Medical Images

6.2021 - 9.2021
Research Assistant
  • Proposed a simple yet effective method for semi-supervised domain-generalized medical image segmentation.
  • Designed two innovative modules. One is the Fourier-transform-based data augmentation; another is the confidence-aware cross pseudo supervision.
  • Wrote a paper which was submitted to AAAI 2022 as the first author.

Deep Generative Model Challenge for Domain Adaptation in Surgery

3.2021 - 6.2021
Competition
  • Won the second price in the this challenge.
  • Proposed a new method combining CycleGAN and U-net to solve this problem.
  • Designed a novel post-processing method called cutting and centre.
  • Wrote a paper which was accepted by MICCAI 2021 workshop as the first author.

Pedestrian Fall Recognition Based on Deep Learning

10.2020 - 3.2021
My Own Project
  • Built the SlowFast networks to tackle this problem.
  • Used Pseudo-Labeling method to deal with the insufficient labeled data.

Image Recognition of Lung Tumor Based on Deep Learning

04.2018 - 09.2018
Research Assistant
  • Won the second prize of the 13th SRTP(Student Research Training Program) of Shandong University.
  • Learned basic concepts of deep learning.
  • Studied deep learning library such as tensorflow and keras.
  • Built the analysis model based on CNN.
