Research Projects
Our research lab is focused on developing cutting-edge technologies in the fields of Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Computer Aided Detection (CAD) on local and Cloud computing clusters. Specifically, we are working on applied Deep Learning (DL) for localization and segmentation, sentiment analysis and response generation with the focus on explainability (XAI).

Cloud Performance Modeling
Many critical applications are running on the cloud, ewhere scaleable infinite processing power is provided. However, due to collocation of Virtual Machine (VM) and performance interfierences, perfomamnce aware scheduling of critical and time sentsitive jobs to the cloud is needed.
