Trustworthiness

  • We focus on out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, a fundamental mechanism to ensure the reliability of AI systems in medical imaging. Our goal is to develop and evaluate methods that enable models to reliably identify unknown or irregular inputs, which is crucial for patient safety.

    Our approach is divided into two steps: First, we create domain-specific benchmarks to systematically evaluate existing OOD methods. Based on this, we optimize promising approaches originally developed for classification tasks and transfer them to image segmentation.

  • The aim of this project is to systematically evaluate existing methods for uncertainty estimation - i.e. for the quantitative assessment of prediction reliability - and to develop new methods. The focus is on the real-time capability of the approaches and their suitability for segmentation tasks, as these requirements are particularly relevant for the analysis of endoscopic videos - a central research area of the ReMIC laboratory.

    By closely linking methodological research and clinical application, the project aims to contribute to more transparent, robust and trustworthy AI systems in medical imaging.
