MMLL (B Bhattarai Multi-Modal Learning Lab)

Overview

MMLL investigates fundamental challenges in developing trustworthy machine learning models, addressing three core problems:

  1. Model robustness under distributional shifts and data imperfections
  2. Privacy-preserving learning in distributed settings
  3. Effective multimodal representation learning across heterogeneous data types

Our priority areas include computer vision, medical image analysis, energy, agriculture, and low-resource language processing.

Technical Focus

  • Model Robustness: Out-of-distribution detection (OODD), model robustness under distributional shifts and data imperfections.
  • Privacy-preserving Learning: Federated learning in distributed settings.
  • Multimodal Learning: Learning across heterogeneous inputs including images, text, and other forms of structured data.

Impact Domains

While our methods are designed to be domain-agnostic, we frequently validate approaches using medical imaging datasets (including endoscopic images, histopathology slides, and chest radiographs.)
