Mainly interested in innovative applications to deep learning, especially vision related ones and expanding unsupervised learning via research in Variational Autoencoders and Generative Adversarial networks. Also, very interested in the area of explorative reinforcement learning, which can provide general purpose models that can then be applied to more specific areas.
