Dr. Sharaf Hussain

I have a Ph.D. in Computer Science and 24+ years of teaching experience at various universities in Pakistan including IBA (Karachi), Bahria University, Iqra University, NUCES FAST, Isra University, KIIT, and UIT University (Karachi).
Research and teaching are both my passions. Artificial Intelligence is my area of research, currently, I am researching the real implementation of the human way of thinking in machines using different techniques of AI such as Transfer Knowledge, Reinforcement Learning, and the combination of Machine Learning and Automated Reasoning.
I have also developed solutions to various AI problems. some are listed below,

1. MathSearch – An AI based system for searching math formulae:
MathSearch is an AI based system that searches mathematical information fromWorldWide Web(WWW).

2. Cognitive AI Model – Implementation of Human Cognitive Process into Machines :
Advanced AI draws inspiration from cognitive theories of human decision-making. The premise is that if we gain insights about the causes of some human capabilities that are still lacking in AI (for instance, adaptability, generalizability, common sense, and causal reasoning), we may obtain similar capabilities in an AI system by embedding these causal components.

3. LATEX to MathML Converter – Converts LATEX math formuale into Mathematical Markup
Language (MathML):
The LATEX to MathML converter transforms LATEX math equations into MathML format using a rulebased technique.

4. Predicting Breast Cancer Survivability:
This research uses breast cancer data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) dataset’s (1973-2010), Survivability predictions are proposed using two different AI techniques.

5. AI Based Video Subtitle Generation:
This application is designed for generating subtitle for the recorded audios or videos.

6. Hand Written Math transformer:
An AI based plugin that converts handwritten/image math equation into LATEX and MathML format. One can integrate this plugin with math search applications for searching equations on World Wide Web.

7. Urdu Chatbot for University Students:
This project introduces a versatile Urdu chatbot employing advanced deep learning techniques like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and attention mechanisms. It is specially designed for university students to perform chating on university related topics.

My favorite teaching areas are,
Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Analytics, Natural Language Processing, Algorithms, and Programming.
