Teaching

The key objective of my teaching is to enhance the skills of the students at both academic and professional level. In my opinion the major outcome of teaching is to provide a sound knowledge of the domain area to the students. This is important for their further qualifications and to compete with today’s industry requirements. I always enjoy teaching as my profession and I believe a teacher can play an important role in the society.

Projects

Ongoing Projects

  1. Digitizing Medical Handwritten Prescriptions

    The primary aim of this research project is to develop a system prototype for converting the healthcare handwritten notes into digital form using AI and Deep Learning techniques. This digital information will be stored into fully normalized/structured format in order to enrich the existing healthcare data with valuable information. The other aim is to analysis healthcare data from various angles (e.g., patients’ health patterns) particularly in COVID context using AI techniques. The project is funded by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) under his NRPU grant.

  2. ImageMart

    ImageMart aims to redefine the e-commerce landscape by introducing an innovative image-based product search system, addressing the limitations of traditional text-based search methods. The significance of ImageMart extends beyond improving the E-Marketplace experience. It introduces a paradigm shift by making online shopping more accessible and engaging for a broader audience. By breaking down language barriers, ImageMart envisions a future where users can effortlessly explore a diverse range of products, furniture and its diverse categories. ImageMart represents a transformative step towards a more inclusive and visually-driven era of online shopping. The project is sponsored by our industry partner, Upstart Commerce.

  3. CaptionCraft

    The project aim is to tackle the challenge of developing a specialized image captioning model, tailored to retail products such as furniture and mattresses. Unlike conventional image captioning models, our approach does not require pre-written text or annotations from retailers. Instead, retailers simply provide product images, and our model autonomously generates descriptive captions. The significance of this research lies in its pioneering approach, offering a practical and time-saving solution for retailers. By automating the description generation and form-filling processes, we aim to reduce the time and effort required for maintaining product listings. This, in turn, not only increases operational efficiency for retailers but also contributes to a more informative and seamless online shopping experience for customers. The project is sponsored by our industry partner, Upstart Commerce.

  4. Your AI Assistant (YAIA)

    YAIA is a commanding application utilizing advanced AI technologies. Its purpose is to take in user queries in the form of speech as well as text. YAIA then provides output in the form of text, speech, or some desired action. YAIA excels in user-friendliness, making it accessible and easy to use for a broad audience. Its interface is designed to be intuitive, allowing both tech-savvy individuals and those less familiar with technology to navigate effortlessly. With options for text or voice commands, it ensures accessibility for users regardless of their preferred mode of interaction. The voice-activated features not only enhance accessibility for those with physical limitations but also cater to users seeking hands-free operation, promoting convenience and multitasking.

  5. DiagnosysAI

    DiagnosysAI goes beyond traditional healthcare solutions, offering a diagnostic system with unparalleled benefits for individuals and the community alike. Imagine a healthcare experience where you, as an individual, have the power to input your symptoms in a simple and user-friendly interface. The system, equipped with advanced algorithms, intelligently dissects these symptoms to identify the presence of various diseases. This means personalized recommendations for separate tests, ensuring a precise and efficient diagnostic journey tailored to your unique health profile. The layman gains access to comprehensive disease insights, empowering them with knowledge and facilitating more informed discussions with healthcare professionals. Beyond individual benefits, the system contributes to the community by optimizing healthcare resources. With reduced unnecessary testing and streamlined diagnostics, it paves the way for a more efficient and accessible healthcare system, positively impacting the well-being of the entire community. DiagnosysAI represents an important step towards personalized, community-centric healthcare, revolutionizing the way we approach and experience medical diagnostics.

  6. Bil-FaND: Multi Features based Bi-Lingual Fake News Detection

    The project aim is to detect bilingual fake news using multiple features such as textual, numeric, categorical, and multimedia. To achieve this, we used multiple models e.g. LSTM for numeric and categorical, multilingual BERT for both English and Urdu text, and BLEU for the multimedia. The outcomes of the numerical, textual, category, and caption-generating layers improved the accuracy and reliability of detecting fake news. This study has practical implications for countering misinformation in multilingual contexts and advances natural language processing approaches in the context of fake news identification. The project is sponsored by Government of Pakistan.
