Research

Overview

My research mainly consists of reliable artificial intelligence (RAI) and medical innovation. In RAI, I will develop a unified methodology to build balanced, safe, robust and interpretable AI system. Several machine learning and deep learning based strategies have been developed. In medical innovation, I will develop RAI based model or method to solve the clinical problems, especially in cancer. Multiple models have been developed for treatment outcome prediction, radiomics, clinical diagnostic support, quantitative imaging biomarker discovery, and medical image processing.
