She actively supports the development of future researchers by supervising undergraduate and graduate theses. She considers participation in national and international conferences essential to sharing research, building collaborative networks, and enriching academic practice.
She currently coordinates the Computer Vision and Data Science Laboratory, an interdisciplinary space that advances research with a social focus, aiming to improve AI-assisted medical diagnosis, particularly in clinical settings with limited resources.
Title: Understanding the Data, Interpreting the Metrics: Medical Report Generation from Images
Abstract:
This talk explores the generation of medical reports from medical images, emphasizing the importance of understanding the data used to train and evaluate models. Drawing on our work in the ImageCLEF 2026 challenge, it highlights the role of data preparation and text preprocessing, which often receive less attention than model design. It examines how inconsistencies and limitations in image–text datasets can place additional demands on models and complicate the interpretation of their results. The talk also raises questions about the relationship between evaluation metrics and the quality of generated medical text, including whether higher scores necessarily indicate better outputs. Throughout the talk, our implemented approaches and experimental findings illustrate lessons learned from data preparation and model development.
