Sofia Kirsanova

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota, advised by Prof. Yao-Yi Chiang. I am a member of the Knowledge Computing Lab.

My research focuses on computer vision, document image analysis, and geospatial deep learning. I work on automated digitization of maps and documents, with expertise in vision transformers, multimodal learning, and layout understanding.

I received a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Lomonosov Moscow State University. My major was in Computer Science and Software Engineering, and my thesis was titled ‘Process Analytics Methods for Anomaly Detection Tasks in System Log Data’.
