RESEARCH INTERESTS

My current research interest lies in solving theoretical and practical problems entailing Computer Vision and Machine Learning, specifically on the problems related to image co-segmentation, remote sensing, medical imaging and affective computing. Our group works extensively in Deep Learning, not only exploring innovative application of deep learning on existing problems but specially extending its theoretical understanding.

Biography

Mohsen Ali is an Associate Professor at Department of Computer Science of  Information Technology University. He is co-founder of Intelligent Machines Lab at ITU and heads Computer Vision Research Group. He received his doctoral degree from the Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering, the University of Florida in 2014. Previously he received his MSc and MS in Computer Science degrees from Punjab University College of Information Technology and Lahore University of Management Sciences respectively. He is a Fulbright Scholar.

His research interests lie in the areas of Computer Vision and Machine Learning, specifically Deep Learning and sparse representation. Some of the research problems he is pursuing are satellite/aerial imagery analysis (research page), affective computing (research page) and multi-image co-segmentation.
