Jameel Hassan

I am graduate research student at MBZUAI, Abu Dhabi, UAE in Computer Vision. I am interested in research related to core problems in deep learning, machine learning and computer vision. I am currently working on vision-language multimodal learning and self-supervised learning for better generalization in image understanding under the supervision of Prof. Salman Khan, Prof. Fahad Khan and Dr. Muzammal Naseer as part of IVAL .

I spend my leisure time reading books, writing (Medium blog) and doing Fretwork. See my hobby works here. I enjoy playing both outdoor sports like football and basketball, and board games.

I am primarily interested in underlying problems in deep learning, machine learning and computer vision. Currently I am working on vision-language models and self-supervised learning for better generalization for image understanding.

Previously I have worked on a cross domain research of computer vision and epidemiology to identify social distancing violations such as proximity, interactions and group behaviour using CCTV footages, and on Smart Grids to mitigate voltage violations due to PV penetration in the Low Voltage electricity grid using optimization of PV inverter powers.

Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought

Publications
ga_b5g Holistic interpretation of public scenes using computer vision and temporal graphs to identify social distancing violations
Jameel Hassan, Gihan Jayatilaka, Suren Sritharan, Roshan Godaliyadda, Parakrama Ekanayake, Vijitha Herath, Janaka Ekanayake and Samath Dharmaratne
Applied Sciences, MDPI, July 2022

Research on the design of a human-human interaction detection system to identify human interactions and provide a threat level assessment for a given environement, in the context of COVID-19. A computer vision approach is undertaken to identify and localize handshake interactions, mask wearing and group behavior amongst people. This information is then abstracted into a temporal graph and then processed to measure the threat level of the given scene and/or video.

ga_b5g A Sensitivity Matrix Approach Using Two-Stage Optimization for Voltage Regulation of LV Networks with High PV Penetration

Energies, MDPI, Oct 2021

A sensitivity matrix based approach to replace Load flow calculations and a novel two-stage optimization to utilize active and reactive power from PV inverters to mitigate the voltage violation problem in the LV electricity grid due to solar PV penetration.
