Ali Abdari

I am Ali Abdari, currently working as a Computer Vision and Deep Learning Researcher at SMC. I hold a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Naples Federico II, where I conducted my research at AILAB at the University of Udine, Italy, focusing on natural language-based retrieval of complex 3D scenes.

I also hold an M.Sc. in Computer Science and a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Kharazmi University, Iran. My research interests include computer vision, image processing, machine learning, multimodal learning, and 3D representation learning.

Throughout my academic and industrial career, I have contributed to a wide range of projects spanning video analysis, action recognition, primate behavior analysis, agricultural and genetic data analysis, cross-modal learning, and 3D scene understanding. I have published papers in leading machine learning and computer vision venues and have organized workshops at premier conferences, including CVPR and ECCV.
