Research

Following is an approximate clustering and labeling of the research (click on the label to find relevant research).

Long-Tailed Training Data

Real-world datasets suffer skewed label frequency distribution, generally with a long-tail. Models trained on such data generalize poorly. We aim to contribute effective solutions to alleviate the adverse effects casued by class imbalance in the training data.

Data Engineering for Deep Learning

While the heaps of digital data surely serve the data hungry deep learning, it comes with a set of new challenges (e.g., data redundancy, complexity of training, etc.). We aim to investigate engineering solutions to these data and learning related challenges.

Robustness

DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial samples that are a dangerous threat for deploying these models in practice. Therefore, the effect of adversarial perturbations warrants the need for in depth analysis of this subject.

Adaptability

Deep Learning has been data and resource intensive. However, real-world may challenge us with various constraints to apply these sophisticated tools. Adapting deep learning techniques/models (e.g. knowledge transfer, domain adaptation) across tasks and to challenging environments such as low data and data-free scenarios is of high importance.

Interpretability

NNss are complex ML systems. Because of end-to-end nature of their learning, these models suffer from lesser decomposability and hence many of us treat them as black-boxes. We study these models in order to make their inference more human-interpretable and explainable, and devise useful inferences and tools.

ML/AI in diverse disciplines

ML and AI are generic set of tools that can be applied to solve problems from diverse set of fields. This is a list of projects that I had a chance to apply the ML/AI techniques in areas other than CV, NLP, and Speech. [Figure taken from teachingai.blog]
