Biography

Vida is a Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto (U of T) under Dr. Babak Taati's supervision. She has received her MSc in artificial intelligence and robotics with a focus on computer vision and machine learning from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM). Vida has recently led a joint research project at the Stanford Vision and Learning (SVL) Lab and Monash University's Vision & Learning for Autonomous AI (VL4AI) Lab on Human Pose Dynamics and Trajectory Forecasting. She organized the ICCV21 workshop on Human Trajectory and Pose Dynamics Forecasting and created a standard benchmark for Social Motion Forecasting (SoMoF). She was also a Research Associate at Machine Vision Lab at FUM for three years. Her work has focused on applying machine learning and computer vision to different industrial projects.
