WHAT WE DO

Projects

Our Projects

1

Medical Imaging

We are involved in medical imaging projects at the University of Oxford and Imperial College London.

Our research focus includes deep learning for computer vision with ultrasound imagery in cancer detection and outcome prediction of kidney transplants from biopsy images.

2

Climate Modelling

K2 Research contributes to climate research, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Cambridge.

A particular project focuses on predictive far-term modelling of global sea levels using multivariate Gaussian processes and big data analytics.

3

Robotics & Vision

Partnering with experts from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Manchester, we actively drive advances in human-robot interaction.

We extend computer vision models and contribute to novel network architectures.

SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS

Selected Research

01

Cechnicka et al. present a novel method to enhance robustness in histopathological image segmentation, addressing challenges of limited datasets and imbalanced object representation. Their approach utilizes diffusion models to enrich datasets with realistic examples, improving performance and interpretability. Validation on two datasets demonstrates its efficacy for clinical applications.

02

A. Obuchowski et al. introduce an innovative approach to intent recognition, merging transformer architecture with capsule networks. Their method outperforms traditional capsule-NLU networks, achieving state-of-the-art results on key datasets like ATIS, AskUbuntu, and WebApp. This advancement holds significant promise for enhancing intelligent conversation design within NLU systems.

03

Renal tumor malignancy classification profoundly impacts urological decisions, yet misdiagnoses lead to unnecessary nephrectomies. A machine-aided diagnosis system, presented by A. Obuchowski et al., predicts malignancy post radiological diagnosis to mitigate false-positives. Achieving an F1-score of 0.84, their method incorporates colorization-based preprocessing for improved knowledge transfer, enhancing accuracy by up to 1.8pp.
