Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania |
| 2018-2020 | Master's Degree, Applied Computational Intelligence
Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Thesis topic: Analysing protein dynamics using Variational Autoencoders My master's thesis focused on visualizing and analyzing the latent space of a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) trained on protein trajectories. The relationship between the similarities of the data samples in the input space and latent space was analyzed. Additionally, a hybrid VAE+LSTM model was proposed for predicting protein trajectories. |
