Speech-Driven Generative AI for Personalized Cine-MRI Sequence Generation in Clinical Speech Therapy
Generative AI has revolutionized the ability to simulate and generate information from learned distributions, with impactful applications in fields such as natural language processing and computer vision. This project will utilize generative models for two key medical applications: (1) simulation of patient speech stimuli: AI will simulate vocal tract movements of patients undergoing therapy for tongue cancer or cleft lip and palate conditions.
Chest X-Rays (CXR) serve as crucial diagnostic tools for pulmonary and cardiothoracic diseases, generating millions of images daily, a number on the rise due to decreasing acquisition costs. However, there's a pronounced scarcity of radiologists to interpret these images. Traditionally, CXR research has centered on enhancing classification accuracy, often achieving state-of-the-art results. Despite progress, there remain rare and intricate findings challenging for both human radiologists and AI systems to diagnose. Our investigation focuses on leveraging self-supervised image-text models to enhance the classification and localization of diverse findings. These self-supervised models eliminate the need for annotations, enabling the Deep Learning system to effectively learn from extensive public and private datasets.

Speech-Driven Generative AI for Personalized Cine-MRI Sequence Generation in Clinical Speech Therapy
(FAU Funds)
Generative AI has revolutionized the ability to simulate and generate information from learned distributions, with impactful applications in fields such as natural language processing and computer vision. This project will utilize generative models for two key medical applications: (1) simulation of patient speech stimuli: AI will simulate vocal tract movements of patients undergoing therapy for tongue cancer or cleft lip and palate conditions.
Self-Supervised Learning on Chest X-Rays to improve classification and localization
(Non-FAU Project)
Chest X-Rays (CXR) serve as crucial diagnostic tools for pulmonary and cardiothoracic diseases, generating millions of images daily, a number on the rise due to decreasing acquisition costs. However, there's a pronounced scarcity of radiologists to interpret these images. Traditionally, CXR research has centered on enhancing classification accuracy, often achieving state-of-the-art results. Despite progress, there remain rare and intricate findings challenging for both human radiologists and AI systems to diagnose. Our investigation focuses on leveraging self-supervised image-text models to enhance the classification and localization of diverse findings. These self-supervised models eliminate the need for annotations, enabling the Deep Learning system to effectively learn from extensive public and private datasets.
