Disciplines: Machine Learning, Geocomputation

Research Areas: Sensor networks data processing, remote sensing and computer vision

Other Keywords: kernel methods, semi-supervised learning, novelty detection

Background: Alexei received a Ph.D. in computer science from EPFL, Switzerland, following his research in machine learning methods and computer vision that he carried out at IDIAP Research Institute in Martigny, Switzerland. He then joined the Institute of Geomatics and Analysis of Risk (IGAR), University of Lausanne, where he was developing approaches to apply machine learning techniques for geospatial data analysis.

Research: Alexei is interested in algorithms that can learn from empirical data. He is developing machine learning based approaches to process data streams from geo-referenced sensors, detect unusual events, optimise the monitoring network and make predictions in time and space.
