Mosam Dabhi

I am a Ph.D. student at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) where I investigate uncovering the representations that could be used as neural priors and act as a placeholder for human visual intelligence.

My goal is to understand how OOD reasoning (generalization) could be achieved to attain such general multi-modal intelligence in machines. To this end, I am currently focusing on merging geometry-based neural priors and extracting inductive reasoning via graph (causal) representations to tackle this task.

In my opinion: “AI could enable the creation of a versatile language through which all the existing scientific fields could be expressed.”
