About Me

I’m a Ph.D. candidate advised by Prof. Assaf Schuster (Technion) and Prof. Moshe Gabel (York University).
My research interests include:

  • Machine learning algorithms
  • Optimization
  • Sensitivity analysis of machine learning models
  • Distributed machine learning

My research is about tradeoff between the amount of computations and the accuracy when using machine learning techniques on data streams with concept drift. I also work on distributed monitoring of machine learning models as well as optimization of deep neural networks.
