I've reached a wall in my medical AI research 🥲 i need professional advice
I've reached a wall in my Medical AI research 🥲 i need professional opinion
I'm a 4th semester software engineering student. For my Artificial Intelligence course, we have to write a research paper any research paper, publication is not mandatory. I'm the topper of my class and have this OVER ACHIEVER COMPLEX, i wanted to conduct a GOOD research. But OBVIOUSLY we don't know ANYTHING the instructor himself asked us to use ai for the research. So all the knowledge i had was from AI.
I am conducting a Robustness study on the R-super/medformer model, by applying 5 perbutations on the scans and observing the performance degradation of that model.
I thought this would be a great research because R-super is a great model and robustness study is very flexible because i don't NECESSARILY have to promise anything, like I'm not claiming to increase the accuracy or something. So i was like, this should be good. I have a computer with 8gb VRAM i ASKED MULTIPLE AI CHATBOTS INCLUDING CLAUDE, if I CAN CONDUCT THIS STUDY ON THAT COMPUTER, they were like yes yes absolutely with a few changes. I LEARNT AFTER 10 DAYS OF 'DAY AND NIGHT' WORK THAT IT IS INTACT NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO RUN THAT SHIT ON MY COMPUTER.
Then i shifted on kaggle. My original plan was to conduct this research on 400 Merlin scans, and panTS too. But i dropped panTS, and REDUCED MERLIN TO 50. It took me 5 hoursss (if you take out the failure attempts and making the subset that would work on kaggle), to run the inference on kaggle... BUTTTTTT i couldn't download it for some reason, i think because i ran the cells interactively idkkk😭 so my 5 hours (without counting the failure) of work went DOWN THE DRAINNNNN. I CRIED SO MUCH OMG.
NOW, idk what to do. The deadline is in 7 days, i wanna kms or something. This course is one credit hour and i can talk to the teacher but i REALLY WANTED TO PUBLISH THIS RESEARCH BECAUSE I WANT TO STUDY ABROAD 😭 and i want scholarship
Idk what to dooo... I really want to continue this research but it would take A LOT OF TIME. I've been working for like 10-12 days with no progress. And I'm working alone. The professor didn't even say anything. He read my proposal. I submitted my methodology. He could have said anything.
What do i dooo🥲
