Rabindra Khadka
Originally trained as an Engineer, after few years I developed affinity towards data science and AI through my passion for data, math, statistics and computer. My interest is in applying AI/ML to discover patterns and gain insights from various modalities of data. Recently, I have been working to find solutions to the problem of data scarcity and model’s generalization capacity. I have research interests in topics like computer vision, meta-learning, federated learning, active learning, explainable AI and privacy preserving AI.
