Soroush Mehraban

I'm a third-year PhD student at University of Toronto, advised by Dr. Babak Taati , and Faculty Affiliate Researcher at Vector institute . My research focuses on analyzing videos for human motion analysis including 3D human pose estimation, 3D human mesh recovery, action recognition, and gait assessment.

Research

I'm interested in computer vision, Self-supervised learning, generative models, and their application to a range of problems. Currently I'm focusing on 3D human pose/mesh estimation from monocular videos. Some of my works are mentioned below.

dise STARS: Self-supervised 3D Action Recognition with Contrastive Tuning

STARS enhances the Mask Autoencoder (MAE) approach in self-supervised learning by applying contrastive tuning. We also show that MAE approaches fail in few-shot settings and achieve improved performance by using the proposed method.
