• Kaggle Notebook Expert (1x Expert) [Kaggle Profile]

My research explores innovative applications of Artificial Intelligence in low-resource environments, with a strong emphasis on:

• Large Language Models (LLMs)
• Bangla Speaker Diarization
• Bangla Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
• Bangla Text-to-Speech Synthesis (TTS)
• Machine-learning-driven AI products
• Domain Specific Chatbot
• Time Series Forecasting
• Object Detection
• Dataset Creation

I aim to advance speech processing, natural language understanding (NLU), and text-to-speech (TTS) systems to develop accessible AI products that drive progress in technology, education, and conservation.

Featured Projects

• StarGaze BD (ML Algorithms: RF, SVM, LR, CNN, Flask, JavaScript, Streamlit)
  A web application for identifying prominent Bangladeshi personalities from photos using machine learning and deep learning. It leverages custom ML algorithms (Random Forest, SVM, Logistic Regression) and a CNN model for high accuracy, with Flask handling backend processing and a user-friendly interface built with JavaScript and Streamlit. [GitHub Link]
• Freshman Utilities (Java, Firebase, Google Directions API, Jsoup)
  An Android app designed to assist university freshmen with campus navigation using Google Directions API, Firebase-based resource sharing, and web scraping with Jsoup to collect essential campus-related information. [GitHub Link]
• CourseTrackr (Java, Servlet, JSP, MySQL)
  A web-based course management system featuring role-based access for admins, teachers, and students. Developed using Java Servlets and JSP for dynamic web pages and MySQL for backend database management. [GitHub Link]
• QuesTek Pro (Java, JavaFX, Text Files)
  A JavaFX-based desktop application for conducting and managing multiple-choice quizzes. It includes admin verification, quiz result exportation, and local data storage using text files—ideal for in-person examinations. [GitHub Link]

Recent Talks & Interviews

• Presentation at ICCIT’23 (26th ICCIT, Cox’s Bazar, December 2023)
  Delivered a presentation on PakhiderChobi, a dataset featuring 8,670 annotated images of 33 Bangladeshi bird species. The talk highlighted the importance of accurate bird detection and classification for urban conservation, leveraging the YOLOv8 object detection model to achieve 95.3% mAP with an inference time of 6.6 milliseconds per image. This tool supports real-time bird recognition, even in challenging environments, contributing to conservation efforts in the face of urbanization and habitat loss. [Watch on YouTube]
