My name is Khaled Jedoui and I am a Stanford student (senior) from Tunisia studying majoring in Mathematics.
My goal is to become a research scientist in Computer Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence.
I am currently applying for CS PhD programs.

Research Interest (for PhD):

▸ When we look at a painting like The Last Supper, we can immediately deduce that it portrays the reactions of the people (apostles) sitting on the sides.
As these people are either looking or pointing to the middle of the table, we can infer that the person in the middle (Jesus) is the main cause of this
reaction and that he made a shocking announcement. While today's intelligent systems show great performance, they still lack this feature of human intelligence.
My primary research interest lies in building systems adept at such commonsense reasoning.
Specifically, I want to work on developing a new generation of models able to infer actions and their connotative implications, deduce causal connections and
counterfactual scenarios, and show other basic reasoning that goes beyond the pixels.

Education:

▸ B.S, Mathematics, Stanford University (2020)
