I am a data scientist at NVIDIA, holding a Ph.D. 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 focuses on exploring the tradeoff between computational complexity and accuracy in machine learning techniques applied to data streams with concept drift. Additionally, I specialize in distributed monitoring of machine learning models and optimization of deep neural networks.
