Summary

Conducted advanced research in medical domain adaptation using LoRA and EfficientSAM, developing novel mechanisms for precise small-tumor detection and predictive uncertainty mapping.

Highlights

Integrated LoRA into ViT self-attention (Q, K, V) and MLP layers of a lightweight EfficientSAM encoder, freezing original weights for parameter-efficient medical domain adaptation.

Implemented manual LoRA injection with configurable ranks, scaling factors, and dropout, optimizing only adaptation weights and the mask decoder.

Designed a Smooth Small-Tumor Gating Mechanism using a scaled sigmoid curve to dynamically adjust penalties for tiny structures without gradient discontinuity.

Developed a Size-Adaptive Tversky Loss featuring dynamic false-negative weighting to aggressively target small, missed lesions, a known weakness of SAM.

Integrated inference-time MC Dropout across task bottlenecks and the mask decoder (K stochastic passes) to generate pixel-level predictive uncertainty maps without ground truth.
