Building integrative machine learning framework for precision oncology

Traditional cancer treatments have followed a “one size fits all” approach, which limits efficacy and often results in significant side effects. This research project aims to develop an approach to predict the impact of cancer missense mutations on the drug-protein interactions of cancer treatments. The approach will use the patient’s own genomic profile and will […]

Controllable and editable character performance using Implicit Neural Representation approaches

Nowadays, many of the movie characters whose performances move us on screen are at least in part digital. From superhero stunts to de-aged beloved actors and actresses, visual effects artists have to create digital characters and painstakingly reproduce performances to convince audiences. New Deep Learning (DL) technologies are emerging to help alleviate the processes. For […]

Out of Distribution Detection in Deep Generative Models

As generative models become increasingly prominent in machine learning, the need for accurately detecting out-of-distribution data has become crucial. The primary objective of this research is to develop an approach that can identify when the program encounters data that is vastly different from what it was trained on. In machine learning, programs may make errors […]
