Mohammad Javad Rajabi

I am a senior Bachelor of Science student in Computer Engineering specializing in Artificial Intelligence at Amirkabir University of Technology.

I am currently a research assistant in the SML lab under the supervision of Prof. Nickabadi, engaged in several research projects focused on visual place recognition. Additionally, I am collaborating with Dr. Alireza Esmaeilzehi on projects related to image super-resolution and generative models. Previously, I completed an internship at IPM, where I worked with Dr. Mohammad Sabokrou on enhancing model interpretability and robustness.

Research

My research interests broadly include machine learning and computer vision. Specifically, I focus on areas such as image/video restoration (e.g., super-resolution), Human Pose Estimation (HPE), image/video recognition, and robustness. Additionally, I am exploring the efficiency aspect of vision transformers, like token reduction, within these domains.

Experience
Remote Research Collaboration
Supervisor: Alireza Esmaeilzehi (Postdoctoral Fellow at UofT)
Engaged in a research collaboration working on two innovative projects in video and image processing. The first is a video-to-video translation project aimed at improving temporal and spatial consistency using optical flow techniques. The second involves developing an image super-resolution network that uses a transformers-based approach with correlated cross-attention architecture.
Research Assistant at Amirkabir University of Technology, SML Lab
Supervisor: Ahmad Nickabadi
Worked on Landmark Detection (Visual Place Recognition). Our primary focus was to enhance the accuracy of landmark image recognition by minimizing the impact of occluding objects, with a particular emphasis on human presence. By mitigating the influence of occluding objects, such as humans, we successfully improved the overall precision and reliability of the landmark recognition system.
Research Intern at Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM)
Supervisor: Mohammad Sabokrou
Proposed a novel approach that encourages the model to focus on the primary object of the image and mitigates biases in image classification. This approach leads to an improvement in classification accuracy, reduced sensitivity to background noise, and enhanced model interpretability.
