My broad research interest is in Artificial Intelligence and Perception. I am researching various aspects of human and machine vision and their contribution to the advance of AI. My recent focus is in the area of visual reasoning and its relation to language constructs.

I am fascinated about bio-inspired intelligent systems. Previously, I have investigated visual attention mechanism and saliency modeling along with their contribution to machine vision algorithms for different applications, including, fixation prediction, object detection and tracking, learning image features from image statistics and egocentric vision. I have also researched inferences from eye movements as a medium that may reveal one’s mind. In my research, machine learning techniques within the span of probabilistic models and neural methods, in specific deep learning, have been developed and employed.
