Best Poster award at the Escuela de Primavera en Deep Learning and Travel Grant
Best Poster award at the Escuela de Primavera en Deep Learning and Travel Grant - 2025
The 2025 Escuela de Primavera en Deep Learning was an event aimed at graduate students and senior undergraduates in fields related to applied mathematics, machine learning, and data science. The experience provided evaluation methodologies, self-monitoring strategies, and model adaptation techniques, which strengthen research at BiomedLab and are applied in projects focused on supporting clinical diagnosis, developed at Universidad Galileo. Thanks to an international scholarship, MSc. Juan Pablo Rodríguez Illescas, research assistant at BiomedLab, represented Universidad Galileo at this meeting that brought together researchers and experts from all of Latin America. During the School, a poster session was held where MSc. Juan Pablo Rodríguez Illescas had the opportunity to present his work on AI-based Automatic Segmentation of Sinonasal Cavity in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography. This poster was awarded the Best Poster at the end of the session.
