Internships

March 2020 - August 2020Buc, France

Computer Vision and Deep Learning Intern @ GE Healthcare

Supervisors : Pr. Serge Muller, Dr. Andrei Petrovskii

Investigation of automatic search methods for neural network hyperparameters (Neural Architecture Search). Application to Mammographic Data within WHARe team (Women’s Health Applied Research)

During my internship, I collaborated with experts to advance mammography systems for clinical diagnosis, focusing on the application of deep learning techniques to enhance the accuracy of mammographic data classification. Specifically, we explored the potential of a gradient-based Neural Architecture Search (NAS) method, DARTS (Differentiable Architecture Search), to optimize model performance for classification tasks. Through extensive experimentation, we successfully achieved state-of-the-art results, surpassing existing models in mammography classification. This project not only provided valuable hands-on experience with AI-driven research but also inspired my decision to pursue a PhD in medical imaging and deep learning.
