Overview
Self-supervised and active learning for label-efficient medical image segmentation.
Contributions
- Co-authored DiCoH, a self-supervised contrastive pretraining framework for homogeneous medical images (under review), +2.0 mIoU over the strongest baseline at 5% labels
- Developing a reinforcement learning-driven active learning framework for semi-supervised segmentation, leading reward-signal design
- Built a PyTorch active learning pipeline on 80K+ BraTS MRI slices, resolving a class-imbalance failure mode in sample selection
