Muhammad Jamal Ahmed
PhD summary
The main objective of my research project is to design and implement novel self-supervised (deep learning) algorithms for time-series data obtained from soft-sensors. Recently, significant progress has been made in time series classification with deep learning. However, using deep learning models to solve time series classification generally suffers from expensive calculations and difficulty of data labeling. Time-series modeling has in recent years seen vast improvements, owing to the introduction of powerful new deep learning architectures but also to the ever-increasing volume of available training data. The deep learning models that we will target probably be consist of but are not limited to are convolution neural networks (ConvNets), Transformers, and Attention Models etc. Time series analysis helps organizations understand the underlying causes of trends or systemic patterns over time. Time series are used in statistics, signal processing, pattern recognition, weather forecasting, earthquake prediction, and largely in any domain of applied science. I will be attending secondments in two different countries outside Spain, in order to enhance my knowledge in deep learning.
