Research summary
AI-generated

Nikhil Mehta's research focuses on machine learning methods that help models learn efficiently from limited or evolving data, including continual learning (models that keep learning new tasks without forgetting old ones), few-shot and zero-shot learning (recognizing new categories with little or no labeled examples), and generative modeling techniques such as topic models and graph representation learning. Work also touches on applied areas like crop disease detection using drone imagery and privacy-conscious federated learning. This research would suit students interested in the statistical and algorithmic foundations of adaptable, data-efficient AI systems.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the past several years, rising from none before 2019 to a consistent 2-6 papers annually, with a peak in 2023.
