EXPERIENCE

Research Intern May 2011-January 2012

Siemens Corporate Research

Responsibility:

- Worked on geothermal data keyword prediction, considering it as a multi-label text classi cation problem.

- Implementation of a text pipeline using Spring Batch framework.

- Implementation of a Well Log Header Analysis pipeline for data extraction from scanned images.

- Work with Mahout (A Distributed Machine Learning library) and MULAN (WEKA based Multi-Label Machine

Learning library)

PhD Student August 2006-Current

The University of Texas at Dallas

Responsibility:

- Work as TA for courses including Advanced Algorithms and Java.

- Responsible for assisting research advisor in conducting problem solving as well as Implementation and testing

of innovative ideas and algorithms.

- My area of research is focused on multi-label text classi cation. Semi-supervised Impurity based Subspace

Clustering (SISC), a novel soft subspace clustering algorithm, is used to perform grouping of text documents

and then -NN approach is used to assign predicted class labels. Comparative study with other state-of-the-art

multi-label classi cation and subspace clustering algorithms show the improvements in class label prediction.

Lecturer, Department of CSE July 2005- June 2006

Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology

Responsibility:

- Design, prepare and develop teaching materials, deliver lectures in class room and conduct lab sessions.

- Supporting students through advisory role supervising research activities.

SELECTED PROJECTS

ROCONA Java

Risk based prOactive seCurity cOn guration maNAger (ROCONA) is a security measurement tool that utilizes the

vulnerability history of services and calculates risk towards the network. It uses the NVD (National Vulnerability

Database) to gather past history of vulnerabilities, a ected products/softwares and their scores to calculate Existing,

Historical and Probabilistic vulnerability score for a given computer network. It also considers how much external

attacks can propagate within the network. Two third party tools, AOL Active Security Center and Nessus were

used for validation purposes. Vulnerability history of Jan, 1988 - Apr, 2007 was used during the experiments.

SISC Java

Semi-supervised Impurity based Subspace Clustering (SISC) is a subspace clustering based classi cation method for

multi-label text data. Performance evaluation were performed on ASRS (Aviation Safety Reporting System) (10K

reports), Reuters ( 10K articles) and 20 Newsgroups ( 15K articles) data set. Benchmark algorithms included Sub-

space Clustering approaches like SCAD2 and Entropy Based K-Means as well as multi-label classi cation approaches

like MetaLabeler and Ensemble of Pruned Sets, both of which uses SVM as base classi ers.
