  • Pakistan - Lahore
  • My current job since December 2023

BitLogix a UK based company leverages over 15 years of industry expertise, specializing in delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored for the healthcare and retail sectors. Its innovative products streamline workflows, enhance patient care, and drive optimal outcomes in the healthcare domain. I am leading research and development in NLP and AI for Localized Speech Recognition, enabling digitization of doctor patient conversation for healthcare domain, focusing on:
• Training Deep Learning Generative AI models using large-scale datasets, optimizing hyperparameters, and employing techniques such as transfer learning and fine-tuning to improve model performance for pre-trained models for instance OpenAI-Whisper.
• Experimenting with different attention mechanisms, such as self-attention mechanisms based on Transformer architecture used in OpenAI-Whisper, to capture long-range dependencies and improve context modelling in speech recognition. Optimizing attention mechanisms to efficiently handle variable-length input sequences and focus on relevant information.
• Evaluating model performance using appropriate metrics and conducting rigorous validation experiments to ensure reliability and accuracy in real-world scenarios.
• Integration and deployment of trained models into production environments, optimized for efficiency and scalability, for real-time speech recognition.
