Joaquín De Ferrari

PhD student in Computer Science at UC Chile. I work on machine learning for medical imaging and clinical language, with a focus on models that learn from the imperfect supervision real hospitals produce.

Currently: 3D vision-language models for chest CT at the Millennium Institute iHealth.
