Ali Karaali I have been working in Trinity College Dublin (TCD) as a research fellow for 3+ years, and conducting research on machine learning, mostly focusing on deep learning. I hold a PhD degree in computer science and have experience in various collaborative machine learning research projects as a researcher and/or co-advisor. I have had a deep enthusiasm for machine learning, whereby we train computer models using representative data to perform human-level evaluation instead of programming them explicitly for a given task. I have pursued this enthusiasm for over a decade, most often for the development of visual-related technologies, but also in other applications such as audio an/or multi model audio-visual technologies.
