Botos Csaba; DPhil in Machine Learning at Univesity of Oxford

About me

I have successfully defended my DPhil thesis in Engineering Science at University of Oxford , supervised by Prof. Philip Torr and Dr. Adel Bibi and examined by Prof. Ferenc Huszár and Dr. Oiwi Parker Jones. My research focused on the intersection of machine learning and computer vision, with a special emphasis on continual learning and self-supervised learning. Before enrolling at the University of Oxford, I obtained my BSc in Bionic Engineering at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University in Budapest, Hungary by winning three thesis awards from the National Council of Student Research Societies.

During my undergraduate studies, I interned at the Institute of Experimental Medicine under the supervision of Dr. Gábor Nyiri, at Verizon Smart Communities under the supervision of Dr. András Horváth. During my DPhil, I have been a research intern at the Intel Embodied AI Lab under the supervision of Matthias Müller.

My research interests include machine learning at various scales: continual learning on computationally constrained scenarios, self-supervised pre-training on large scale data and efficient semi-supervised fine tuning. I am really passionate about communicating ML research to a wide audience, so I have been organizing and hosting machine learning seminars and reading groups, gave talks and I have been a mentor at various summer schools.

Collaboration

I am always open to new collaborations and internships, so feel free to contact me if you have an interesting idea or dataset that you would like to work on together. I am also open to supervising undergraduate and master student projects.
