πŸ‘‹πŸΌ Hello there, I’m Boris!

Illustration of combining vision and language modalities πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’» I’m a final year graduate student at the TU Berlin.

πŸ”¬ My research interests are in bridging vision and language modalities and Self-Supervised Learning!

πŸ“š I’m currently working towards my Master’s Thesis in the field of Vision-Language-Modelling.

πŸ“½οΈ I am also interested in assisting others on their path in the world of Machine Learning and academia.

Selected Experience

πŸ€– Open Source Contributions

I have experience contributing to Arena Bench a large open-source project for robotic obstacle avoidance using Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Moreover, I have published a respective paper at the IROS conference and in the Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) journal.

πŸ“œ Reimplementing and Reproducing Papers

I have experience with independent research. I have implemented the Reward Constrained Policy Optimization paper into stable-baselines3 PPO and reproduced the original results by running and tracking experiments.

To accompany this work, I have submitted a blog post to the ICLR Blogposts Track communicating the paper’s theory and my results.

Feel free to look at my specific portfolio entry.

πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ”¬ Professional Experience

Currently I am working as a Student Researcher at the Reliable Multimodal AI Lab at the TU Darmstadt under the supervision of Prof. Marcus Rohrbach working on Generative Video-Language Modelling. Additionally, I have professional experience working as an Applied Machine Learning Student Researcher at the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute.
There I worked on dynamic traffic flow forecasting using Graph Neural Networks.

πŸ“š Teaching and Community Contributions

To further contribute to the Machine Learning community, I have a YouTube and Medium channel where I publish educational Machine Learning content.
