Work description
The fellow will contribute to developing artificial intelligence-based solutions for the automated analysis of polysomnography (vPSG) videos in the context of diagnosing sleep disorders, particularly REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). The activities to be performed will include:
- Training and validation of machine learning models, ensuring the quality and consistency of the datasets used.
- Development and implementation of computer vision algorithms for detecting and analyzing RBD-specific behaviors in vPSG videos.
- Integration and testing solutions in a simulated clinical environment, ensuring the applicability of the developed models in clinical practice.
- Participate in the analysis of results and benchmark the system against manual expert evaluation, aiming to measure gains in accuracy and efficiency.
- Contribution to the scientific dissemination of the project, including writing scientific articles, preparing presentations for conferences, and supporting the preparation of technical reports.
