Research:
Following are my main areas of research interest:
AI and pattern recognition: machine learning including deep learning, document analysis and recognition, and natural language processing.
AI applications using machine learning and deep learning.
Software engineering: AI in software engineering, software quality, and requirements engineering.
I am also open to and interested in interdisciplinary research involving AI and machine learning.
