About Me

I am Milad Payandeh, holding a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with a focus on Software Engineering from Islamic Azad University, Qods Branch. My passion lies in Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Large Language Models (LLM). My Master’s thesis, titled "An Improved Graph-Based Deep Hybrid Recommender System," along with my coursework, has provided me with a strong foundation in AI, reflected in my near-perfect GPA of approximately 4.0 (19.45/20). I have also contributed to four conference papers and one journal paper, alongside various projects. I am now eager to pursue a PhD to deepen my research in AI and contribute to advancements in ML, DL, NLP, and LLM.
