Sukanya Patra

I am a PhD student affiliated with the Big Data and Machine Learning Lab at the University of Mons, Belgium. My research interests lie in exploring the theory of deep learning and its applications, focusing on problems related to image data. Presently, my research is centred around deep anomaly detection under the supervision of Professor Souhaib Ben Taieb. My work focuses on developing novel anomaly detection methods that can address some of the most challenging aspects of industrial applications, which include tackling non-stationarity in data and working with limited, weak labels. Prior to my current position, I received a Master's degree in Data Science from the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands.
