City: Tehran, Country: Iran

I have a Master's degree in artificial intelligence from Semnan University's Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and did research under Prof. Dr. Farzin Yaghmaee. Machine learning (ML) and image memorability are my primary areas of study. In my master’s thesis, I research Quantifying image memorability for adult Iranians and the effects of local images on it in the department’s lab. In my study I work with machine learning, deep learning, python.
