About
Mir Sazzat Hossain
Research Assistant at Center for Computational & Data Sciences, Independent University, Bangladesh.
Bio
A highly motivated and aspiring researcher with a strong background in deep learning, with recent work centered on multimodal learning. Over the past few years, I have actively contributed to the field, publishing research articles in top-tier venues such as ACL and WACV. My primary research interests lie in vision-language models. I have also worked on domain adaptation and federated learning, and continue to explore these areas with strong interest.
Currently, I am working as a Research Assistant at the Center for Computational & Data Sciences (CCDS) at Independent University, Bangladesh. My recent work explores multimodal alignment, efficient adaptation, and generative approaches, including diffusion models and constrained generation. I am actively seeking Ph.D. opportunities in Computer Science, with an emphasis on vision-language models, domain adaptation, and generative models.
