A 3.5-year funded PhD studentship is available in the Department of Computer Science at University of Sheffield, working on the topic of multi-modal AI for healthcare.
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as foundation models, multi-modal learning algorithms, generative models, and large language models [1], have made seen remarkable advancements in the field of healthcare. It can lead to more accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and improved patient outcomes. This project will focus on developing multi-modal AI models that can handle the complexities of medical data as well as the domain gap and knowledge gap across different scenarios, and further adapt to individual patient needs. Depending on the profile of the student, a particular focus would be utilizing large language models and explainable AI (XAI) to enhance the reliability and applicability of AI algorithms for healthcare applications [2] and/or identifying pitfalls of current AI models using adversarial machine learning.
Dr Chen (Cherise) Chen is a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at University of Sheffield. She was a post doc at the University of Oxford after she obtained her Ph.D. from the Department of Computing at Imperial College London in 2022.
