Projects
–
Political Sentiment Analysis Tools (NLP) at LUMS
Highlights
- Extracted Text corpus from Twitter & local political blogs to investigate relationship between political sentiments & corresponding events in a volatile country like Pakistan.
- Reduced the dimensionality of the problem (numerous attributes to classify against) using Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
- Used Topic modeling & Event Detection to model correlation.
- Logistic Regression & Support Vector Machine (SVM) were used to predict sentiment based on labeled training data.
- Analyzed & compared performance of classification models using F1 score to improve precision & recall while implementing crossvalidation for best results.
- Conducted research on creating an Urdu (Pakistan’s national language) lexicon to include texts posted in Roman Urdu.
–
Quality Assurance System using ML & Computer Vision at WipeHero
Highlights
- Created automated system to assist with the auditing and Quality Assurance processes using ML & Computer Vision techniques.
- Ensured automatic detection of the car in the image and Determination of whether quality of car wash was acceptable or not.
- Implemented semi-supervised Learning GAN’s & Ladder Network alongside use of OpenCV for Vehicle component Detection.
- Delivered a basic working framework that still required further improvements in order to be used as a working feature.
–
Freelance Business Intelligence Projects at Reliance Paint Industries (Pakistan)
Highlights
- Studied source data to assess its feasibility in fulfilling user requirements.

Publications
BayesLands: A Bayesian inference approach for parameter uncertainty quantification in Badlands by Computers & Geosciences
Bayesian inference provides a rigorous methodology for estimation and uncertainty quantification of unknown parameters in geophysical forward models.
Multicore Parallel Tempering Bayeslands for Basin and Landscape Evolution by Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
In this paper, we extend Bayeslands using parallel tempering with high‐performance computing to address previous limitations in Bayeslands
Bayesreef: A Bayesian inference framework for modelling reef growth in response to environmental change and biological dynamics by Environmental Modelling & Software
We present a Bayesian framework called Bayesreef for the estimation and uncertainty quantification of parameters in pyReef-Core that represent environmental conditions affecting the growth of coral assemblages in geological timescales
