I’m Noor Ahmed, a PhD student at the CVMP Lab at Saarland University under the supervision of Eddy Ilg. I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science from National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Pakistan. For my masters, I was enrolled in the Visual Computing Program at Saarland University. Complementary to this, I did my master thesis at the Computer Vision and Machine Learning Group at MPII under the advisory of Anna Kukleva and supervision of Bernt Schiele. My work proposed the OrCo method, which improved generalisation for Few-Shot Class Incremental Learning (FSCIL) via a novel contrastive loss.
My research primarily lies within the realm of continual learning. I plan to diversify my research portfolio by extending continual learning to settings including and beyond 2D data. My recent work explores Multi-Modal foundation models for open-vocabulary fine-grained tasks.
