Research Interests

Continual Learning

Building models that learn new tasks sequentially without catastrophic forgetting — my core research area, including online continual learning strategies, benchmarks, and evaluation protocols.

Deep Learning

Designing and analyzing neural network architectures and training strategies, with a focus on transfer learning and feature fusion across spatial and frequency domains.

Computer Vision

Medical image analysis including brain tumor classification and segmentation from MRI, combining CNNs, transfer learning, and wavelet-enhanced features.

Neuroimaging

Applying continual learning to neuroimaging tasks such as tumor segmentation, modality registration, and disease classification, with standardized benchmarks.

Pattern Recognition

Statistical and learning-theoretic foundations of recognition systems, from classical methods to modern deep representations.

Multimodal Learning

Emotion recognition through speech processing and virtual reality, integrating affective computing with multimodal frameworks.

Online Continual Learning: A Systematic Literature Review of Approaches, Challenges, and Benchmarks

Seyed Amir Bidaki, et al.

Neural Networks (Elsevier)

Show Abstract

A systematic literature review on online continual learning, analyzing over 2,000 publications and extracting detailed data from 81 key articles after quality assessment. The study covers strategies, learning settings, evaluation metrics, benchmarks, datasets, and quality attributes, resulting in a 46-page manuscript. As first author and main initiator, I contributed to all phases — from idea conception and methodology design to analysis and writing.

Continual Learning in Neuroimaging: A Comprehensive Survey and Benchmark Study

Seyed Amir Bidaki, et al.

In preparation

Show Abstract

Extending continual learning research to neuroimaging applications — tumor segmentation, modality registration, and disease classification. The work systematically analyzes existing approaches by model components, evaluation metrics, datasets, and methodologies, and proposes standardized benchmarks and continual learning settings such as domain-incremental segmentation.
