Neural Residual Maps: Proposal-Level False Positive Suppression for Fixed-Camera Object Detection

Engineered Neural Residual Maps (NRM), a proposal-level background-rescoring formulation mitigating persistent static distractors without detector fine-tuning, improving P-AUC by up to +9.50 across YOLO11m and RT-DETR-L backbones.


TEMPO at SignEval 2026: Signer-Independent Temporal Modeling and Vocabulary-Constrained Post-Processing for Arabic CSLR

Secured 1st place globally in the SignEval 2026 Continuous Sign Language Recognition challenge, establishing a 5.68% Word Error Rate (WER) via signer-invariant temporal representations and vocabulary-constrained beam search.


DAgent: A Multi-Agent System for Device-Aware Assistance

Architected a modular multi-agent orchestration framework (Tracer, RAG, Code Synthesizer, OS Controller) optimizing localized task-execution fidelity and achieving an operational correctness score of 4.87/5.0.


Media Bias in The Guardian: Sentiment and Semantics in Coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Engineered a computational NLP framework utilizing contextual representations to quantify longitudinal framing biases, demonstrating statistically significant divergence including a 13.5% elevation in threat-oriented lexical polarity.


ALEX-GYM-1: A Hybrid 3D Pose & Vision Model for Automated Exercise Evaluation

Formulated a dual-stream multimodal architecture fusing 3D CNN spatiotemporal visual representations with coordinate pose kinematics, achieving a 30.0% reduction in Hamming Loss and a 79.5% accuracy gain over unimodal pose baselines.


TypePlus: A Deep Learning Architecture for Keystroke Authentication

Designed a lightweight, non-transformer continuous keystroke biometrics architecture with temporal weighted-attention pooling, establishing a 2.86% Equal Error Rate (EER) on the Aalto dataset with sub-millisecond inference latency.


PPE-Det: Lightweight Object Detection Models for Edge-Based Safety Monitoring

Curated a domain-specific 5,000-sample industrial dataset and benchmarked sub-3M parameter architectures (YOLOv9t, YOLOv11n) on Raspberry Pi 5, identifying optimal Pareto bounds between mAP and edge memory bandwidth.


DeepCat: Deep Learning Approach to Understand Cat Body Language

Built an on-device hierarchical affective state classification pipeline over 10,000+ visual samples, mapping structural keypoints to affective taxonomies with 97.0% ocular localization precision and 85.0% caudal posture accuracy.
