Structured representation learning

How can inductive biases such as convolution help sparse latent representations preserve local spatial relationships? My statistics thesis explored this question through simulation and climate data.

Trustworthy & explainable AI

How can a black-box prediction be translated into a compact set of rules without losing fidelity? At Ericsson R&D, I developed and evaluated a post-hoc, model-agnostic rule extraction pipeline.

Self-supervised & predictive learning

I am interested in how models can discover correspondence and dynamics from unlabeled video, then use learned representations to anticipate future states rather than only reconstruct observations.
