Bkam Internship as Software Engineer

Bkam was a fast-growing startup specialized in online price comparison between available online and on-site products from several stores and get you the store link with the best price for a specific item.

At my second year I was lucky to get a recommendation from my TA Ahmed ElSharkasy to join them.

Identifying Critical Neurons in ANN Architectures using Mixed Integer Programming

In this research, we attempt to understand the neural model architecture by computing an importance score to neurons. The computed importance score can be used to prune the model or to understand which features are more meaningful to the trained ANN (artificial neural...

Gender aware spoken language translation Arabic To English

Download the paper During my work at Microsoft Research Lab in Cairo, we were brainstorming for research projects related to our work Skype Translator for the upcoming summer internship.I got the idea of making a machine translation system that keeps the lost gender information while translating from Arabic To English.

Synthetic Spoken Data for Neural Machine Translation

Download the paper

During my work at Microsoft Research Lab in Cairo , my first task was to make a Levantine Arabic dialect to English NMT system, but the parallel data available for dialectical Levantine was not enough to train a decent model for Skype translator.

Introduction to Mixed Integer Programming

Mixed-Integer programming are used to solve optimization problems with discrete decision variables. Hence, its feasible region is a set of disconnected integer points and gradient based algorithms cannot be directly applied.

GAIA Gradient-Based Attribution for OOD Detection

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown incredible accuracy across numerous applications. However, their inability to handle out-of-distribution (OOD) samples can lead to unpredictable and potentially unsafe behavior. This post explores the recent paper on the Gradient Abnormality Inspection and Aggregation (GAIA)(Chen et al., 2023) framework, which introduces an innovative approach to enhance OOD detection.

Gradient-aware...

Survey on Uncertainty Estimation in Deep Learning

A distinction between aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties is proposed in the domain of medical decision-making (Senge et al., 2014). Their paper explained that aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties are not distinguished in Bayesian inference. Moreover, the expectation over the model with respect to the posterior is used to get our prediction leading to an averaged epistemic...
