PhD at Aalto University

Hello! I’m Mohammadreza Ghofrani, a PhD student at Aalto University, focusing on sustainable AI innovation, under supervision of Dr. Gopika Premsankar*. I obtained my Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, specializing in Natural Language Processing, from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic). During master’s studies, I had the privilege of working under the guidance of Dr. MohammadMehdi Homayounpour* and Dr. Saeedeh Momtazi**, focusing on my thesis titled “Response Generation in Task-based Dialogue Systems with Limited Training Data.”

Prior to my master’s, I completed my bachelor’s degree under the supervision of Dr. Saeedeh Momtazi**, where I worked on “Implementing a Relation Extraction System for Persian Texts using Distant Supervision.”

Selected Projects


CommonCrawl Language Specific Downloader github
This script downloads only the segments of the CommonCrawl dataset for the specified language. CommonCrawl archives and publishes internet content every few months, making it a valuable resource for extracting data to train language models (or large language models, as they are commonly known today).
