The focus of the PhD-student will be on the technological side, which consists of two major parts. First, you will be responsible for developing a robust acquisition process that will be used to create a dataset of high-quality images for gross lesion scoring. This includes the hardware setup (camera, lighting, reference boards, etc.) and post-processing algorithms (contrast enhancement, background segmentation, etc.) to minimize variation that is not caused by pathology. This dataset will then be labelled by trained experts. Second, you will develop and implement a convolutional neural network to automatically score images from this dataset, taking into account the difficulties of the data at hand (high resolution images, missing or inconsistent data labels, etc.). You will work closely with a second PhD student, whose focus will be on the biological relevance of the findings and relate these to disease pathogenesis, animal physiology etc.
