RESEARCH INTERESTS
Since August 2010 I am a Ph.D. student in the Machine Learning Group of Prof. Hein. Prior to this, I received my M.Sc. degree in Computer Science in 2010 from Saaralnd University. My general research interests are in machine learning and optimization. Currently I am working on developing graph-based methods for unsupervised and semi-supervised learning problems. I am also interested in applying my work to solve interesting problems in image processing and information retrieval.
