Hi! I'm Mehdi Nickzamir

I am a 26-year-old Iranian student living in Torino, currently pursuing my Master’s in Data Science at Politecnico di Torino. Even though I'm currently focusing on NLP, I’m always open to exploring new domains and technologies.

Projects

ContextLingo

Mar 2026

I have developed a Chrome extension for language learning that retrieves context from subtitles or text in articles and provides the meaning of the word in question within that context. The extension utilizes the Mistral API to generate responses in various languages. Additionally, it incorporates an Anki flashcard feature.

Chronos Consistency Calibration

2025

Colleagues: Erfan Bayat, Andrea Vasco Grieco, Mohammad Sheikh Ahmadi

Accurate point predictions are not enough for financial models; reliable probability estimates are equally critical. To address this, we applied a perturbation-based consistency calibration method (C3) which improved the Expected Calibration Error (ECE), resulting in highly stable and reliable confidence estimates.

Particle Coordinates Predictions in Resistive Silicon Detectors

2023

Colleagues: Paolo Castellaro

This project involves the development of a multi-output pipeline for predicting the coordinates (x, y) of a particle passing through a resistive silicon detector (RSD). The pipeline uses the XGBRegressor to analyze signals generated by 12 pads in the detector.
