Research Assistant
Young Learners' Research Lab · Rajshahi, Bangladesh
Contributed to projects aimed at improving machine learning models across three key research tracks:
Explainable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
GitHub
- Contributed to the development of RAG system for low-resource and noisy text environments, mitigating hallucinations through retrieval-grounded generation.
- Utilized BM25 (lexical keyword matching) and Contriever (dense semantic retrieval) model for retrieving relevant answers.
- Integrated these retrieval pipelines with generator models such as Flan-T5 and Llama-3 Instruct.
Gastrointestinal Disease Classification
GitHub
- Developed GAN-based augmentation strategies to address class imbalance in gastrointestinal disease datasets.
- Utilized preprocessing techniques including CLAHE, Gaussian smoothing, MSRCR, and bilateral filtering to suppress compression artifacts.
- Trained and compared multiple architechtures(ConvMixer, ConvNext-Tiny, and Swin Transformer) with stratified k-fold validation.
Deepfake Video Detection using InceptionNet
GitHub
- Designed a 3D InceptionNet framework for multi-class deepfake detection on FaceForensics++ (6 categories).
- Implemented three-phase conditional training strategy using transfer learning to address class imbalance, significantly improving minority class performance.
- Evaluated robustness across five manipulation techniques with comprehensive confusion matrix analysis.
