RESEARCH STATEMENT
My research interests are primarily focused on the aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills like Machine learning, Deep learning, Artificial Neural Network and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). I am really interested in the image processing field along with its extension to the Artificial Intelligence field. My main research goal is the development of computationally effective paradigms in the field of machine learning and artificial neural networks.
