About Me

I am Milad Payandeh, an M.Sc. student in Artificial Intelligence with a B.Sc. degree in Software Engineering. I have a strong interest in machine learning, deep neural networks, natural language processing (NLP), and large language models (LLM). My thesis focused on improving a Deep Hybrid Graph-Based Recommender System. During my master's program, I took relevant coursework such as Evolutionary Algorithms, Swarm Intelligence Algorithms, Advanced Data Mining, and Statistical Learning Theory. With an overall GPA of 4.0, these courses have provided me with a solid foundation in Artificial Intelligence and have further fueled my passion to pursue higher academic levels in this field. I am currently seeking Ph.D. positions to apply for. My dedication, perseverance, passion, and experience in artificial intelligence make me an ideal candidate for any research position within this domain.
