Halim Noor is an academic in the School of Computer Sciences at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Prior to this, I served at the Universiti Teknologi MARA Pulau Pinang as a Senior Lecturer in Computer Engineering.

My research is in the fields of machine learning and deep learning for computer vision and pervasive computing. Currently, I am focusing on problems in human activity recognition and medical image analysis such as segmentation, representation (feature) learning, and prediction.

Looking forward, I am interested in

– achieving an effective segmentation of input data
– learning salient feature representation for accurate prediction
– data augmentation/generation using deep generative models

My research has been published in Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing, Neural Computing and Applications, Neural Processing Letters, Knowledge-based Systems, Pervasive and Mobile Computing and in the proceeding of several conferences.
