Parham Rezaei

I study how to make generative models more steerable, reliable, and scalable.

I am a final-year undergraduate student in Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology.

My work focuses on deep generative models from a statistical perspective, with particular interest in sampling methods, synthetic data selection, and the theory of flow models.

(1D) Ordered Tokens Enable Efficient Test-Time Search

Through controlled experiments, we find that AR models trained on coarse-to-fine ordered tokens exhibit improved test-time scaling behavior compared to grid-based counterparts.

A 3D Tennis Complete Analysis

October 2023

Used both classical computer vision techniques and deep learning models to automate the process of analyzing tennis matches.

Miscellaneous

I like reading, lately mostly Kafka, playing tennis when tennis elbow allows it, and hiking.
