Computer Engineering, with a focus on computer vision applied to digestive endoscopy

[Open soon]

Work description

The GATE (GenerAlizable and Trustable computer assisted upper gastrointestinal Endoscopy) project is a collaboration between INESC TEC and IPO Porto aiming to develop trustworthy artificial intelligence technologies for gastric cancer prevention. The project also involves collaborations with hospitals in Rome, Bucharest, and Rotterdam. This PhD project aims to investigate novel computational representations of gastric mucosal appearance that bridge human perception, biological processes, and artificial intelligence. The research will explore how perceptually meaningful and biologically grounded visual descriptors can be designed, quantified, and validated to produce more interpretable and trustworthy AI systems for gastric endoscopy.
