EMPLOYMENT History

 

 

 

Research Associate [ October 2020 – Present ]

Organization :

University of Southern Queensland, Springfield Central, Australia

Responsibilities:

 

·   Develop Distress Inference System from Audio Phone Calls using cutting edge Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques.

 

Lecturer  [ Semester 3, 2020-2021]

Organization :

University of Southern Queensland, Springfield Central, Australia

Responsibilities:

 

·    I am appointed as an Assistant Examiner in Machine Learning (CSC8003) and Big Data Management (CS8002), where I will conduct Lecturing, Planning and Development, Course Coordination, and Tutorial. I am also appointed to redevelop the CS8002 course with cutting edge knowledge.

 

Postgraduate Intern  [ November 2020 Present]

Organization :

Data 61, CSIRO, Australia

Responsibilities:

 

·   After joining CSIRO, I have started to work on the Australian Coral Reef Monitoring System. Here, I am developing a novel Artificial Intelligence model to "identify the presence of coral from the video". Once I develop the model, it will bring significant success to the coral reef monitoring system in Australia. Therefore, we will be able to preserve the coral reef in Australia.

 

Research Scholar  [ October 2017 – Present ]

Project :

Advance Queensland Fellowship project to develop Mood Inference Tool to predict the relapse in the mood disorder from audio phone calls

Organization :

University of Southern Queensland, Springfield Central, Australia

Responsibilities:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·    Collected and managed a large amount of speech audio data and text data in the local development server. Furthermore, conducted appropriate processing of the audio and text data for feeding into machine learning models, which involved an enormous amount of cleaning, transformation, and feature engineering

·    Used cutting edge deep learning models such as transformer, RNNs, seq2seq, CNN, etc. to build Sentiment Classifier from text data and robust Speaker Identification system from speech audio

·    Built a system to detect four affective events: anger, sadness, laughter, and cry from speech audio with deep learning models using transfer learning techniques. I achieved a classification accuracy of 98%, where state of the art is 72%. The demo can be found on this link (https://youtu.be/E450z0ugCMs)

·    Developed complex heuristic and learning-based algorithm to detect the change of the mood of a user from the phone conversation, maintaining the utmost privacy and security 

·    Collaborated with the Industrial Partners; Netcare and Queensland Health to deploy a secured cloud-based rest API serving Mood Inference Tool for end users

·    Conducted extensive research on Deep Neural Networks and proposed three novel models based on Generative Adversarial Neural Network. These models aim to learn representation from unlabeled audio data and generate high fidelity audio leveraging a small amount of labelled data. Now, I am conducting research on few-shot learning for audio data

 

Data Scientist  [ November 2016 – October 2017 ]

Organization :

Infolytx, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Responsibilities:

·    Developed a Human Activity Detection System from a phone accelerometer and gyroscope using bleeding-edge Deep Neural Networks. Furthermore, successfully collaborated with the software engineering team to deploy this system on the cloud for live detection for any smartphone device. The demo can be found here on https://bit.ly/37p0RTq

·    Maintained test-driven development for production codebase and followed agile methodology

·    Built a Cervical Cancer Detection System from 2D images of the sick patients where the underlying model was built with CNN. This was a Kaggle Competition, and we were able to achieve a prestigious rank in the competition

·    Consulted the team to build a robust commercial product identification system from images.  The demo can be found here on https://www.infolytx.com/solutions/deep-vision/

·    Conducted a hands-on “Deep Learning 101” course comprising of 27 lectures (2 hours each) for training fellow team members

 

Software Engineer  [ June 2015 – November 2016 ]

Organization :

Data Robin, Khulna, Bangladesh

Responsibilities:

·    Developed a fraud detection system for a car insurance company and hosted the whole web service on a website. After evaluating most of the traditional machine learning models, XGBoost offered the highest accuracy of around 95%. For processing the written description of the customers’, the pertained Word2vec and LSTM was used

·    Built a unique tree-based neural network that outperformed other states of the art Recurrent Neural Networks for extracting business names from unstructured customer chat text

·    Supervised a pilot project to build a system to detect sick people from the 2d color image of a person

·    Developed many exploratory data analysis reports using advanced data visualization techniques

 

Mentor and Project Reviewer (Freelancing) [ August 2016 – Present ]

Courses :

Data Science and Machine Learning

Organization :

Udacity, California, USA (Remote)
