Ilija is a machine learning researcher building holistic models of unstructured data from multiple modalities. His diverse, seven-year experience as a machine learning researcher includes projects on combining satellite images and census data for complex city models, utilizing movie metadata and watch statistics for recommender systems, and fusing image and text data representations for visual question answering. Currently, Ilija is working on developing an interpretable deep learning model of financial data coming from multiple sources.
PhD candidate at NUS, under the supervision of Jiashi Feng and Shuicheng Yan, generously supported by an NGS Scholarship. Working on developing deep neural network models for complete image understanding, applied to Visual Question Answering (VQA).
From Nov 2014 to Nov 2015, was doing research in NLP and IR area at WING and NLP labs.
Has an M.Eng. degree in Software Engineering for Machine Learning with a thesis titled "Intelligent Tool for Modelling and Simulation of Urban Development".
