Geoffrey Angus
Graduate Student Researcher
Computer Science
Stanford University
I am a Master’s student studying Computer Science at Stanford University, specializing in machine learning. I work in both the Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging (AIMI) Center and HazyResearch lab, advised by Matthew Lungren and Chris Ré.
My most recent project involves abnormality localization in full body PET-CT scans using weak supervision. We propose a method that allows for the automatic processing of thousands of natural language radiologist reports in the span of a few hours, for the purpose of training highly specialized abnormality classifiers. Draft can be found here.
I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2018. I was class president, violinist, and teaching assistant in my spare time.

Projects & Papers
Cross-modal weak supervision enables abnormality localization in full-body PET-CT
Geoffrey Angus*, Sabri Eyuboglu*, Bhavik Patel, Anuj Pareek, Guido Davidzon, Jared Dunnmon, Matthew Lungren
We are among the first to build a high-performance machine learning model for abnormality localization in full body PET-CT scans. Our model detects lymph node, lung and liver abnormalities with median AUROCs of 87%, 85% and 92%, respectively. We propose a new method to generate labels from natural language radiologist reports to train weakly supervised image classifiers.In submission, 2019
