HierarchiRetina: A Diabetic Retinopathy Screening and Grading Cascade with Heterogeneous Mixture-of-Experts Lesion Segmentation
Md Asif Uddin, Niloy Farhan, Rafeed Rahman +1
Clinical screening for diabetic retinopathy proceeds in stages, yet most automated systems grade fundus images with a single black-box network. Three gaps remain: (i) lesions diffe…
MedPRESS: A Multi-turn Benchmark for Patient-Pressure-Induced Medical Sycophancy in LLMs
Saman Sarker Joy, Niloy Farhan
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for health-related advice. Existing research measures their safety with static questions rather than pressured patient-facing con…
When Does Knowledge Distillation Hurt? Reliability-Aware Distillation for Low-Resource Language Summarization
Dipto Sumit, Ankan Kumar Roy Srizon, Sadia Khair Rodela +4
Knowledge distillation (KD) is a standard approach for compressing sequence-to-sequence models, but its per-sample effects are rarely examined. On the BanSum Bangla summarization b…
Exploring the Limits of Pruning: Task-Specific Neurons, Model Collapse, and Recovery in Task-Specific Large Language Models
M. K. Khalidi Siam, Md. Tausif-Ul-Islam, Md. Reshad Romim Khan +5
Neuron pruning is widely used to reduce the computational cost and parameter footprint of large language models, yet it remains unclear whether neurons in task-specific models cont…
Reliability Gated Multi-Teacher Distillation for Low Resource Abstractive Summarization
Dipto Sumit, Ankan Kumar Roy, Sadia Khair Rodela +4
We study multiteacher knowledge distillation for low resource abstractive summarization from a reliability aware perspective. We introduce EWAD (Entropy Weighted Agreement Aware Di…
Transforming Mentorship: An AI Powered Chatbot Approach to University Guidance
Mashrur Rahman, Mantaqa abedin, Monowar Zamil Abir +4
University students face immense challenges during their undergraduate lives, often being deprived of personalized on-demand guidance that mentors fail to provide at scale. Digital…
Gazetteer-Enhanced Bangla Named Entity Recognition with BanglaBERT Semantic Embeddings K-Means-Infused CRF Model
Niloy Farhan, Saman Sarker Joy, Tafseer Binte Mannan +1
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a sub-task of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that distinguishes entities from unorganized text into predefined categorization. In recent years,…
