Andrei Vladimirovich Konstantinov

This website serves as a portfolio showcasing my research and professional activities. I am a PhD in Physics and Mathematics with a strong focus on developing innovative solutions within machine learning and related fields. My background combines rigorous mathematical training with practical experience in data science and computational techniques.

Academic Background & Research Interests

I completed my undergraduate education at Peter the Great Polytechnic University, earning a degree in Applied Mathematics. My doctoral research centers around addressing challenging problems in machine learning through novel theoretical frameworks and algorithmic development. My primary research interests include:

  • Hard Constraints in Neural Networks: Developing methods to enforce explicit constraints on neural network outputs, ensuring adherence to domain-specific rules and regulations.
  • Hybrid Models: Decision Trees & Neural Networks: Developing novel architectures that combine the interpretability of decision trees with the representational power of neural networks, aiming to achieve both accuracy and explainability.
  • Interpretable Machine Learning (xAI): Developing and applying techniques to enhance the transparency and understandability of machine learning models, enabling users to gain insights into model decision-making processes.
  • Concept-Based Learning: Investigating approaches that explicitly represent and leverage human-understandable concepts within machine learning models, facilitating knowledge transfer and improving generalization capabilities.
  • Multiple Instance Learning (MIL): Exploring MIL approaches for scenarios with ambiguous data labels, enabling robust learning from incomplete or uncertain information.
  • Survival Analysis: Applying machine learning techniques to model time-to-event outcomes, particularly in contexts where censoring is present.
  • Heterogeneous Treatment Effect: Investigating methods for identifying and modeling how treatment effects vary depending on instance features.

Skills & Experience

Beyond my research, I have cultivated a diverse skillset through various experiences. Participation in debate teams honed my abilities in critical thinking, persuasive communication, and active listening – skills essential for effective collaboration and presenting complex ideas clearly. Furthermore, managing a student video department provided valuable experience in creative problem-solving, storytelling, and project management within a collaborative environment. In my leisure time, I enjoy playing the guitar and piano.
