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, 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.
