Farbod Siahkali [CV]

About

I am a driven and curious Electrical Engineering graduate with over 3 years of research experience applying deep learning techniques. Currently, I work as a Research Assistant in the Human and Robot Interaction Laboratory at the University of Tehran.

With a GPA of 3.87/4.0, I have a strong academic background including coursework in machine learning, computer vision, optimization, and control systems. I have published multiple papers on topics such as pedestrian re-identification, attribute recognition, and real-time vehicle tracking.

I am seeking out opportunities to expand my skills in areas that include optimization and reinforcement learning.

Outside of academics, I enjoy staying active and creative. I love playing basketball, gaming, and camping.

I am excited to apply my diverse skills and experiences to impactful research and engineering roles after graduation. Please view my CV and get in touch!

Publications

Image-based and Partially Categorical Annotating Approach for Pedestrian Attribute Recognition

July 2023

In Processing of Computer Vision and Image Understanding Journal

  • This research suggests an image-based partially categorical attribute dataset (CA-Duke) and also proposes a two-step learning method for evaluating the separability of data in the latent space via a new metric called the Separation Index.

SIVD: Dataset of Iranian Vehicles for Real-Time Multi-Camera Video Tracking and Recognition

October 2022

Published in Iranian Conference on Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems (ICSPIS 2022)

  • In this paper, we propose a new web-scraped Iranian vehicle dataset (SIVD) (which has 29 classes and more than 36,000 images) for simultaneous real-time vehicle tracking and recognition.
