Anthony Bilic

I am an incoming (Fall 2023) Ph.D. student in computer science (CS) at the University of Central Florida under Professor Chen Chen.

I received my B.S. in CS from the University of California, Irvine, in 2018 and my M.S. in CS from the Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech) in 2022—special thanks to Professor Irfan Essa (GaTech) for his support.

Work Experience
PontTuset Software/Cloud Engineer 2018 - 2021

My primary duties included supporting software projects and creating distributed and orchestrated internal cloud services. In addition, I supported multiple machine learning projects and prototyped an image generation approach with a generative adversarial network (GAN). Technical details can be found on my Linkedin.

Research
PontTuset BC-MRI-SEG: A Breast Cancer MRI Tumor Segmentation Benchmark
Anthony Bilic, Chen Chen
IEEE ICHI Multimodal4healthcare Workshop, 2024

Binary breast cancer tumor segmentation with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data is typically trained and evaluated on private medical data, which makes comparing deep learning approaches difficult. We propose a benchmark (BC-MRI-SEG) for binary breast cancer tumor segmentation based on publicly available MRI datasets. The benchmark consists of four datasets in total, where two datasets are used for supervised training and evaluation, and two are used for zero-shot evaluation. Additionally we compare state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches on our benchmark and provide an exhaustive list of available public breast cancer MRI datasets. The source code has been made available at https://irulenot.github.io/BC_MRI_SEG_ Benchmark/.

PontTuset End-to-End Multimodal Representation Learning for Video Dialog
Huda Alamri, Anthony Bilic, Michael Hu, Apoorva Beedu, Irfan Essa
NeurIPS Workshop, 2022

Proposes a new framework that combines 3D-CNN network and transformer-based networks into a single visual encoder to extract more robust semantic representations from videos. The visual encoder is jointly trained end-to-end with other input modalities, such as text and audio. Experiments on the AVSD task show significant improvement over baselines in both generative and retrieval tasks.
