Hello!
I am Syed Rifat Raiyan.I am a Lecturer of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the Islamic University of Technology (IUT). In May of 2023, I attained my Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree with Honors from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the Islamic University of Technology (IUT). I was affiliated with the Systems and Software Lab (SSL) research group of IUT while I was working on my undergraduate thesis under the supervision of Mohsinul Kabir.
My research interests lie broadly in Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and Deep Learning. These days, I am working on projects related to Mathematical Reasoning in Language Models, In-context Learning for Text Classification, Bangla Sentiment Analysis, and Image Classification.
Some people in academia that I follow/look up to:
Andrej Karpathy, Andrew Ng, Andrew Wiles, Autar Kaw, Bret Weinstein, Christopher D. Manning, Danqi Chen, David J. Malan, Donald E. Knuth, Erik Demaine, Gilbert Strang, Grant Sanderson, John McCarthy, Jonathan Haidt, Jordan B Peterson, Justin Johnson, Károly Zsolnai-Fehér, Linan Chen, Noam Chomsky, Rebecca Shafee, Roger Penrose, Srinivas Devadas, Terence Tao.
