Mudassar Abbas, DSc. (Tech)

I have completed my doctoral dissertation while working at the Deep Learning & Bayesian Modeling, and Complex Systems research groups. I no longer work at Aalto University, School of Science.

(firstname.lastname@aalto.fi)

During PhD studies, my research focused on Bayesian optimization for tuning chaotic systems as well as deep learning, especially, unsupervised/semi-supervised learning. I have been working on Ladder networks and adversarial training in order to develop a novel regularization framework for deep learning. I also have a Master's degree with distiction in Machine Learning and Data Mining from Aalto University, School of Science.
