Research Scientist II at Rakuten
Email: ramin.raziperchikola [at] rakuten.com
I am a research scientist with expertise in machine learning. Since joining Rakuten in 2019, I have focused on recommendation systems and creating models that address real-world challenges, utilizing techniques such as deep learning to enhance the performance
I completed my PhD in the EECS Department of UC Merced, under supervision of Prof. Paul Maglio and Prof. Harish Bhat. I received my MSc in Artificial Intelligence from Sharif University of Technology.
My research is focused on machine learning and its applications in recommendation systems, language models, and computer vision. In my recent projects, I have developed deep models to tackle cold start problem in recommendation systems, deep self-supervised models on tabular data to extract user embeddings, and deep language models to extract item embeddings.
