Research

My research is on deep learning for time series and sequential data: how sequence models such as LSTMs, GRUs, temporal convolutional networks and attention-based hybrids learn from data that unfolds over time, how to make their predictions more accurate, and how they behave when that data changes.

I have worked on hybrid ensembles for forecasting and load prediction, and on sequence models trained on hospital time series that have to cope with years of shifting data. As a freelance AI engineer, I also build production AI systems: real-time voice agents, retrieval-augmented LLM applications and computer-vision pipelines.

Time series forecastingHybrid deep learning ensembles (BiLSTM, BiGRU, TCN, attention, XGBoost) for forecasting and load prediction.
Sequence models under changeHow recurrent and tree-based models behave, and how to update them, when sequential data drifts over time.
Explaining sequence modelsWhether feature attributions (Integrated Gradients, SHAP) stay stable when a model is updated.

PreprintAudit Before You Update: Recording Artifacts and the Limits of Bounded Model Updates in MIMIC-IV ICU Prediction

Fatema Ferdous Tamanna, K. M. Merajul Arefin, Md. Abdul Masud

Sequence models (LSTM and gradient-boosted trees) on ICU time series from 2008–2022: audit recording artifacts before any update, detect drift without labels, and compare bounded against full model updates with pre-specified non-inferiority margins.

ManuscriptWhere does explanation movement go when part of a clinical model is frozen? A bounded-update case study in intensive care

Updates a two-stream sequence model (LSTM over hourly ICU time series) on newer data with and without freezing its encoder, and tracks how its explanations and the literature they retrieve shift.

Live demos

Kotha AI ● Live

A Bangla voice receptionist for dental clinics that books, reschedules and cancels real appointments over a live call, with a staff portal showing every transcript.

  • Speech recognition chosen by measurement: 48/50 Bangladeshi names correct vs 38/50 for the alternative
  • Double-booking made impossible in the database, not the prompt
  • Automatic fallback for every provider, with a watchdog for silent failures

AI Messenger ● Live

A family messenger with an AI-twin mode: when someone is busy, their twin replies in their own tone, using retrieval over their journals and past conversations and a Big Five personality profile.

  • Retrieval-augmented memory with FAISS and per-user privacy boundaries
  • Relationship-aware replies (parent, sibling, partner)
  • Real-time chat over WebSockets
