About Me
I am a fourth-year PhD student at Max-Planck-Institute for Intelligent Systems and University of Tübingen in Germany. I am an information theorist and computer scientist, working on a variety of topics in machine learning. I have done my masters at Sharif University of Technology in Iran in 2019.
During my masters, I did a research internship at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan.
Besides my academic life, I am interested in Persian poetry, reading and writing fictional stories, and talking philosophy. If you want to chat, just drop me an email or find me on Twitter. You can find me on GitHub and LinkedIn, and Google Scholar too.

🔔I am currently on the academic and industry job market. Feel free to contact me if you know of any positions.🔔

A Unifying Post-Processing Framework for Multi-Objective Learn-to-Defer Problems

A Unifying Post-Processing Framework for Multi-Objective Learn-to-Defer Problems

This paper introduces a unifying framework for constrained optimization problems, mainly for classification and learn-to-defer tasks. This is a generalization of Neyman-Pearson lemma and counters the regularization paradigm.
Sample Efficient Learning of Predictors that Complement Humans

Sample Efficient Learning of Predictors that Complement Humans

In here, we provide the first theoretical results on the joint learning of classifier and rejector, and design an active learning algorithm to achieve this. We further introduce a set of surrogate losses to enable learn-to-defer training for neural networks.
Hermite Polynomial Features for Private Data Generation

Hermite Polynomial Features for Private Data Generation

In this paper, we designed an alternative to random features to generate more efficient representations of a dataset that are privacy-preserving, while maintain the quality of the instances.

ARMA Processes with Discrete-Continuous Excitation: Compressibility Beyond Sparsity

ARMA Processes with Discrete-Continuous Excitation: Compressibility Beyond Sparsity

In this paper, I generalize the connection between information dimension and compressibility of stochastic processes to the case of ARMA processes. I show that although ARMA processes are not sparse, they can have singular structures that lead to their compression via compressed sensing methods.
Compressibility Measures for Affinely Singular Random Vectors

Compressibility Measures for Affinely Singular Random Vectors

In this paper, we define a set of singular distributions that naturally arise in autoregressive processes. Then, we obtain R'enyi information dimension for processes with such probability distributions. We further, find an extension to differential entropy for such class of probability measures. Then, we find information-theoretic and compressed sensing reconstruction errors for compression of samples of such processes.
On the Compressibility of Affinely Singular Random Vectors

On the Compressibility of Affinely Singular Random Vectors

In this paper, I find a probabilistic extension to sparsity that can lead to similar guarantees in reconstruction error in compressed sensing problems. This is done by finding R'enyi Information Dimension for probability measures with singularity.
