Explainable multimodal deep learning for personalized oncology, with a focus on robust fusion, missing modalities, and clinical validation in non-small cell lung cancer.
Overview
AIDA develops explainable multimodal deep learning for healthcare scenarios where single-modality pipelines are not enough. The project investigates when and how to fuse heterogeneous evidence, how to learn stronger shared representations, and how to maintain robustness when data are incomplete or some modalities are missing.
The translational application is personalized oncology in non-small cell lung cancer, where radiomic, pathomic, and electronic health record data are combined to predict response, relapse, progression-free survival, and overall survival. The project also studies clinical trust through explainability mechanisms designed for physicians and domain experts.
Research Directions
- Multimodal representation learning across radiomics, pathomics, and electronic health records.
- Explainable AI methods for attention, counterfactual reasoning, and user-facing clinical transparency.
- Prospective validation in non-small cell lung cancer with comparison against conventional clinical markers.
