Yavuz Yarici

I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Ghassan AlRegib in the OLIVES Lab. I completed an Applied Science internship at Amazon Lab126 focusing on multi-modal egocentric VLMs, and I am an incoming return intern for Summer 2026.

Prior to joining Georgia Tech, I received my B.S. from Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey. My research focus is multimodal machine learning, domain generalization, and human activity recognition. Some of my specific works include:

• Multimodal Domain Generalization — MER-DG: Modality-Entropy Regularization for Multimodal Domain Generalization
• Domain Generalization for Human Activity Recognition — Subject Invariant Contrastive Learning for Human Activity Recognition
• Multimodal Activity Understanding — Hierarchical and Multimodal Data for Daily Activity Understanding
