PhD Position in Multimodal Machine Learning in Healthcare
Offer DescriptionAccurately recognizing human activities is an important requirement for various healthcare applications (e.g., to enable wearable robotics to proactively respond to the user’s activities). Deep learning has enabled promising results in various applications by automatically discovering complex representations from raw input data. Taking human activity recognition as an example; video contains a rich description of activity context but provides only a rough description of biological processes and articulated movement. Fusing video with wearable sensors such as inertial measurement units and (neuro)physiological sensors can address such shortcoming and hence improve decision making. However, further basic research is required as it remains challenging to model heterogeneous data sets such that the respective advantages are exploited, and the disadvantages are suppressed. In this context, you will study, among others:
