Hi, I’m Diala!

I am a second year Computer Science PhD student at Boston University. Before joining BU, I received a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. I am keenly interested in interpretable and efficient machine learning and computer vision. I am currently working on explainable AI with Professor Sarah Adel Bargal, and on cross-layer parameter sharing for resource-efficient on-device learning with Professor Bryan Plummer.
