Taivanbat Badamdorj (TK)

I obtained my Master of Science degree in Computer Vision and Machine Learning from the University of Alberta where I was advised by Prof. Li Cheng. I have publications at top conferences such as CVPR, ICCV and EMNLP, and five years of experience in machine learning. Two of the tools that I worked on are being used in a practical setting (Dead Sea Scrolls [1], [2], Wiener Library [1], [2]).

Outside of work I enjoy building and riding bikes (acoustic), running, and volunteering.
