About

Hello! I am Mohammadali Sefidi Esfahani, and recently, I obtained my master's degree in Computer Science from Amirkabir University of Technology, advised by Dr. Mohammad Akbari. I love solving challenging real-world problems using machine learning and natural language processing. I had a wonderful time interning at Data Science Innovation Center, working on various projects. At this point in my academic journey, I have successfully attained my educational objectives in Iran and am poised for a new challenge. Accomplishing a doctoral degree is the most significant path toward realizing my academic and professional aspirations, and I am going to start my Ph.D. in September 2024.

After exploring various fields and implementing several projects, my research interests lie at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, focusing on their applications in social science and software engineering. In particular, below are some keywords of my recent interests:

• Representation Learning on Complex Data
• Application of Large Language Models in different fields
• Machine Learning for Software Engineering
• Computational Social Science
• Conversational AI
• Explainable AI
