Riyasat Ohib
Georgia Institute of Technology. Ph.D. Candidate
I am a Graduate Student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. While I have a broad interest in learning algorithms, my current research primarily centers on the development of sparse and efficient neural networks and understanding the intricacies of their training process. I currently work as a Graduate Research Assistant at the Center for Translational Research in Neuro-imaging and Data Science (TReNDS), a joint research center by Georgia Tech, Georgia State and Emory University under the supervision of Dr. Vince Calhoun and Dr. Sergey Plis.
My interests span most of deep learning, with a current focus on efficient AI, sparse deep learning, and multimodal learning. I also have happened to dabble in research on multi-task reinforcement learning.
Please reach out if you would like to know more about my research, discuss about AI research or would like to collaborate.
