Biography
Dr. Samir Belhaouari is an Associate Professor at the College of Science and Engineering at Hamad Bin Khalifa University. He conducts research in various areas, including classification techniques, feature extraction and selection, and data preprocessing. Dr. Belhaouari is developing the multilevel architecture of deep learning (MADL), which optimizes networks at different levels and stages. He has created innovative algorithms for time-frequency decomposition, feature selection, and optimization techniques. Additionally, he explores image and graph representation methods to address complex data challenges and works on compressing deep learning to improve performance while reducing costs and energy consumption.
Additionally, he has developed an enhanced hashing function, drawing inspiration from a mathematical conjecture. His contributions have been recognized through the securing of several national and international research funds, such as HBKU-Thematic and QNRF-NPRP-BSRA. Dr. Belhaouari has served as the principal investigator (PI) and played a significant role in the field of AI. Dr. Belhaouari's work encompasses mathematics, machine learning, data analysis, and classification. His pioneering techniques and algorithms hold great potential for enhancing performance across a wide range of applications.
