Vijay Sadashivaiah

My name is Vijay Sadashivaiah, and I am a Computer Science PhD student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My research interests lie in the area of human-inspired methods to advance artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Specifically, I am interested in exploring how the human brain abstracts away knowledge from one context and later uses it to learn quickly and efficiently in new contexts. This spans the areas of transfer learning, representation learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning. I am also interested in improving our understanding of machine learning methods through explainable/interpretable ML architectures.Previously, I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering at PES Institute of Technology and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
