Research Experiences

Sharif University of Technology

• Graph Machine Learning (Bachelor Project)
  Supervisor: Prof. Javad Ebrahimi
  • Completing the knowledge graph of patients in a hospital using Graph neural networks.
  • Performing Node2Vec and Deep Walk on Evolutionary graphs.
  • Conducting Community detection on the knowledge graph data provided by a hospital.
  • Constructing knowledge graph based on data driven from a hospital.
• Mouse Opto-Locomotor Motion Analysis
  Supervisor: Prof. Zahra Rezvani
  • Designing an attention-based neural network to determine if mice can distinguish between different stimulations based on the time series of mice head degrees.
  • Investigating if mice’s previous experience and memory can bias their reaction in current experiments by training a model to distinguish the response of the mouse with different previous experiments.
• Rank Aggregation
  Supervisor: Prof. Shahram Khazaei
  • Applied genetic algorithms on ranking data with numerous ranking criteria to derive a single criterion that minimizes the deviation from all the basic rankings.
  • Utilized a faster approach, Monte Carlo cross-entropy, to solve this problem.
