Accepted Paper: Radio Galaxy Classification at INNS DLIA 2023

Our research paper, ‘Morphological Classification of Radio Galaxies using Semi-Supervised Group Equivariant CNNs,’ has been accepted for presentation at the esteemed INNS Deep Learning Innovations and Applications (INNS DLIA 2023) workshop, which is part of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2023). The paper will also be published in the renowned Procedia Computer Science journal!

In this study, we tackled the challenge of limited labeled data in radio galaxy classification by employing a cutting-edge semi-supervised learning approach. By harnessing the power of Group Equivariant Convolutional Neural Networks (G-CNNs) as encoders, we achieved impressive results in classifying radio galaxies into the well-known Fanaroff-Riley Type I (FRI) and Type II (FRII) categories.

Explainable Hate Speech Detection: ICML 2023 Workshop Acceptance

Recently, Md Fahim, RA of CCDS with co-authors from UToronto, IUT and Fordham University has a paper accepted in AI and HCI workshop of ICML 2023. The paper proposes an interpretability and explainability oriented model to detect hate speech utilizing the pre-trained large language models. It creates dynamic class specific conceptual subspaces from which class specific attention is obtained by projecting the contextual embedding onto those spaces. These attentions provide better explainability of the detection task.

CCDS RA Selected for the MIT Summer Geometry Initiative

One of our RAs Munshi Sanowar Raihan has been selected for the MIT Summer Geometry Initiative (a six week research program) introducing undergrad and graduate students to the field of geometric processing. He is among the 32 fellows selected from all over the world. The program, organized by Prof Justine Solomon, PI, MIT’s geometry processing groups, provides students with the opportunity to collaborate with program staff that include graduate students, faculty and research scientists.

CCDS RA receives full funded MS admission in the Illinois Institute of Technology, Illinois, USA

Congrats to Samin Bin Karim, now RA of CCDS and alumni of CSE, IUB, for starting his graduate studies in Illinois Institute of Technology, Illinois, USA. We wish him the very best of luck. Samin had been working on reinforcement learning and multi-agent systems here at CCDS.
