Mahdiyar Molahasani

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Ingenuity labs at Queen's University working on continual learning and pedestrian behaviour understanding funded by NSERC and Geotab . I am working under the supervision of Michael Greenspan and Ali Etemad .

I have recived my M.Sc. from the Univeristy of Saskatchewan , Saskatoon, Canada in 2021. At USASK, I've worked on super-resolution, automated diagnosis and capsule GANs advised by Seok-bum Ko and funded by Devolved scholarship from USASK ECE Department (M.Sc. Thesis).

Research

AI is my passion. I am interested in deep learning and its applications. I have the experience of using DL architectures for solving problems in a variety of domains from medical scans to 5G networks. My research covers different aspects of DL from high-level learning paradigms such as continual learning to transistor-level hardware implementation.

clean-usnob Continual Learning for Out-of-Distribution Generalization in Pedestrian Detection
Mahdiyar Molahasani, Ali Etemad, Michael Greenspan
arXiv/Code

International Conference of Image Processing (ICIP), 2023

A The study introduces a continual learning approach for pedestrian detection that can adapt to shifts in data distribution, addressing a common issue in current models. By modifying Elastic Weight Consolidation in an object detection network, the method maintains performance across different datasets, preventing catastrophic forgetting demonstrating significant improvements in miss rate reduction on the CrowdHuman and CityPersons datasets when compared to standard fine-tuning.
