Research & Work Experience

Lead Researcher and Developer at Artificial Intelligence Lab (ToobaTech) Company
2019 - Present

* Project1: SnapMode ((Iranian Large-Scale Image Retrieval Engine) See

- Designed and developed a Low Latency Scalable Focused Web Crawler to extract fashion data from E commerce websites using Apache Storm, Solr, Kafka and Milvus. (+10M Product Pages).

- Enhanced the content-based image retrieval Accuracy using a Triplet Generative Adversarial Networks (CBIR-GAN) to feature embedding.(82% accuracy on the in-shop products).

- Optimized the search performance of vector queries using clustered milvus.

* Project2: Water Sensor Data Analysis See

- Designed and developed a real-time big data architecture for water sensor data ingestion, fusion and analysis using transformer-based deep learning algorithms

*Project3: Enamad (E-commerce Websites Monitoring System) See

- Built a fake logo detection system that leveraged transfer learning using pre- trained Resnet-18 model to successfully identify real Enamad logo in Iranian E-commerce websites.(92% accuracy)

*project4: BigMehr(AI-Enabled Marketing Platform)

- Designed and Developed an AI-Enabled marketing system based on Horton- works big data platform to process and analyze the customer data of a USSD application (#780) with +3M active users.

- Developed a customer churn prediction model using LSTM networks that im- proved monthly retention by offering discount and running relevant marketing Campaign.

- Improved marketing team process, resulting in a 30% decrease in time needed to infer insights from customer data used to develop marketing strategies.

Cbir-Gan: A Triplet Generative Adversarial Network for Content-Based Image Retrieval

This project proposes a triplet generative adversarial network (GAN) based on the idea of integrating deep metric learning methods with GANs to benefit from the advantages of both at the same time. In this model, three generator networks that use a triplet loss function are responsible for learning a similarity measure over objects and embedding images in an appropriate vector space. In these networks, a CNN-based perceptual loss function is also employed to force the generators to adhere a certain type of structural features in intermediate layers. Since only triplets must be used as network inputs in the proposed method, the learning process is performed in a semi-supervised way. Product Link, Paper Link

GANs models / Wavelet Transform / Pytorch

Texture synthesis in image to image translation in the field of fashion AI

In this research, we presented a generative model called WBT-GAN for texture synthesis problem, which was an extension of the existing Texture-GAN network using a four-level wavelet transform and error definition based on it in the objective function of the model.
