Since 2018 I have been the holder of the MILCOM Chair. MILCOM aims to design machine-learning methods that explicitly consider the challenges of analysing medical images such as dealing with volumetric multi-modal and heterogenous data, small and imbalanced databases, and/or limited access to expert annotations.

Early Breast Detection from Images

Back to the main page

This project points to the early breast cancer detection from mammographies. The challenges are the heterogeneous and incomplete nature of the annotations. The main contribution has been the proposition of a self-supervised approach to guide a convolutional neural network to detect and spatially locate anormalities while training with image-wise annotations only\footnote{\bibentry{tardy2021abnormalities}}. We have also explored two approaches to measure the uncertainty of the predictions \footnote{\bibentry{tardy2019uncertainty}} and a multi-task method to learn from hetereogenous labels\footnote{\bibentry{tardy2022multitask}}. These are outcomes of Mickael Tardy’s Ph.D.

A second Ph.D., Guillaume Pelluet, follows this fruitful industrial collaboration with the company Herami. He has focused on the multi-scale nature of the problem\footnote{\bibentry{pelluet2021brainles}} and on further increasing the interpretability of the results through graph CNNs\footnote{\bibentry{pelluet2022miua}}.
