Mahardhika Pratama is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Universitas Indonesia's Faculty of Computer Science, where he leads research in machine learning and artificial intelligence. His work bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications across various domains including time series analysis, autonomous systems, and resource-constrained environments. Pratama's research focuses on overcoming fundamental challenges in machine learning systems, particularly in the areas of continual learning and few-shot learning. His work addresses the critical problem of catastrophic forgetting in neural networks while developing efficient learning systems that can adapt to new tasks with minimal data. His publications reveal a strong emphasis on developing practical solutions for real-world applications where data is scarce or constantly evolving. Analysis of his recent publications (2023-2025) shows a clear research trajectory toward more sophisticated approaches for continual learning under data scarcity, with increasing focus on transformer architectures, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and cross-domain adaptation techniques. His work demonstrates a consistent pattern of addressing both theoretical foundations and practical implementations of adaptive learning systems. His research has been supported through numerous collaborative projects with international institutions including UNSW Canberra, Swinburne University of Technology, and University of Alberta, reflecting the global impact of his work in the machine learning community.
