Researching Bias in Brain Tumor MRI Classification
At CCIR Academy, Lucas explored machine learning and medical imaging. His research paper is titled The Impact of Rotation and Brightness Augmentation on Class-Level Bias in Brain Tumor MRI Classification.
The study examines how image augmentation techniques affect MRI classification. Specifically, Lucas investigates rotation and brightness adjustments. He explores their effects on bias and classification performance across different brain tumor classes.
Improving Fairness in Medical Imaging Models
Lucas also examines whether these techniques can improve model accuracy and fairness. Furthermore, his research explores how image augmentation can help make machine learning models more reliable.
These findings may contribute to better approaches to medical image classification.
