Short bio and CV

مختصر السيرة الذاتية
I have been an assistant professor at King Saud University in the department of computer science since fall 2011. I am interested in problems related to Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, recommender systems and complex networks.
Before coming to King Saud University, I spent two years as a researcher in the Humanistic system Lab in the University of Tsukuba in Japan. My research focused on improving the system I developed  during my PhD studies for drawing human faces using verbal desctiptions  and developing a new system for modeling 3D facial expressions based on subjective descriptions of the users.
I graduated in March 2009 with a PhD degree in computer science from the University of Tsukuba, Japan. My PhD research was in the field of Computational intelligence and intelligent interactive systems. I have developed an interactive face drawing system allowing users to draw faces using verbal descriptions. I proposed an efficient approach for online learning of Gaussian fuzzy sets based on the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for Gaussian mixture. This work has been reported in two peer-reviewed academic journals and two international conferences.
During my master studies,  I proposed a load balancing strategy for an open and organized multi-agent system where agents are distributed and are able to enter and leave the system, causing an unpredictable load.
I received the Monbukagakusho scholarship (2004-2008) from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan to pursue my PhD studies.
