IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Technology and Engineering (i-COSTE)

Nasib, A.U., Tahsin, A., Alam, M.G.R. (2025) An Approach to Validate References in Scholarly Articles using RoBERTa. In: 11th IEEE International Conference on Smart Technologies and Engineering (i-COSTE), Presented on December 4th, 2025. [Google Scholar]

Abstract: In this age of rapid technological advancement, evaluating references or hallucinated references and validating them are some of the primary processes to justify the authenticity of a research work. The core purpose of referencing is to ensure ethical writing and to make the search easier in a particular area for the reader when it is accurate. The conventional method for verifying their validity is to check them manually one by one, which is above argument, equivalent to another research work, and sometimes so exhausting that the reader loses interest. Our research aims to present a semi-automatic digital system that allows researchers to substantiate the references used in their research writing without manual intervention. This proposed model utilizes a sentence transformer called RoBERTa to produce embeddings. In order to find semantic and contextual similarities, we use the model to clean and pre-process an entire research paper before cross-referencing it with a reference query. The result shows mostly similar contexts based on the similarity check. With an F1-score of 0.777, our model outperformed the output of both the present BERT and SBERT models. Read More

Tabassum, P., Nasib, A.U., Alam, M.G.R. (2022). Multi-criteria Decision Theory-Based Cyber Foraging Peer Selection for Content Streaming. In: Saraswat, M., Sharma, H., Balachandran, K., Kim, J.H., Bansal, J.C. (eds) Congress on Intelligent Systems. Lecture Notes on Data Engineering and Communications Technologies, vol 114. Springer, Singapore. [DOI] [Google Scholar]

Abstract: COVID-19 has made it necessary for educational institutes to make their materials available online. Having access to these vast amounts of knowledge and learning materials can benefit students outside of these institutes greatly. With that in mind, this paper proposes a cyber foraging system. The proposed system is a peer-to-peer streaming system for educational institute content streaming that selects the best peers based on eight decision criteria. Judgments from experts are used as data to assign relative weights to these criteria using the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process method. Finally, the criteria are ranked based on the assigned relative weights to find out their importance in the peer selection decision making process. Read More

Hasnat, F., Hasan, M.M., Nasib, A.U., Adnan, A., Khanom, N., Islam, SM.M., Mehedi, M.H.K., Iqbal, S., Rasel, A.A. (2022). Understanding Sarcasm from Reddit texts using Supervised Algorithms. In: 2022 IEEE 10th Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC), Hyderabad, India, 2022, pp. 1-6, [DOI] [Google Scholar]

Abstract: The use of satirical or ironic language for conveying a message is referred to as Sarcasm. Social networks such as Reddit, Twitter, etc. usually uses Sarcasm. Reddit which is an American website contains social aggregations of news, ratings of the content and discussions. These resources, which include links, text articles, photographs, and videos, are published to the platform by registered users and can be voted up or down. Posts that cover topics related to books, cooking, pets, news, politics, movies, religions, science, sports, fitness, video games, music, and image-sharing are organized as “communities” or “subreddits”. The submissions receiving enough outvotes appear on the front page of the site and towards the top of the subreddit. This paper is about classifying a Reddit comment as sarcastic or non-sarcastic with the help of machine learning techniques. In this approach, we have achieved 71%, 76% and 70% accuracy for LSTM, CNN, and Logistic Regression algorithms respectively. Read More

Khan, S., Islam, SM.M., Nasib, A.U., Hasnat, F., Hasan, Mehedi, M.H.K., Iqbal, S., Rasel, A.A. (2022). COVID-19 Classification from X-Ray Images using 2D CNN. In: 2022 IEEE 10th Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC), Hyderabad, India, 2022, pp. 1-6, [DOI] [Google Scholar]

Abstract: The coronavirus (COVID-19) detection has been a crucial task for researchers, scientists, health experts all across the world and everyone is trying together to find a solution to it. The X-rays images of lungs have become one of the most prevalent and effective procedures used by researchers to monitor COVID-19. Unfortunately, inspecting each case involves multiple radiology experts and time, which is one of the critical tasks in such an outbreak. In this paper, a deep learning approach, 2D convolutional neural networks (CNN) has been used to classify healthy and COVID-19 chest X-ray images. “Curated Dataset for COVID-19 Posterior-Anterior Chest Radiography Images (X-Rays)” dataset has been used in this study. The major indicator of this study is the accuracy of the proposed model. The classification model, 2D CNN has achieved accuracy and f1-score of 0.96 and 0.95 respectively. Read More

Abstract: This paper presents a model to convert natural Bengali language to text. The proposed model requires the usage of the open sourced framework Sphinx 4 which is written in Java and provides the required procedural coding tools to develop an acoustic model for a custom language like Bengali. Our main objective was to ensure that the system was adequately trained on a word by word basis from various speakers so that it could recognize new speakers fluently. We used a free digital audio workstation (DAW) called Audacity to manipulate the collected recording data via continuous frequency profiling techniques to reduce the Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR), vocal leveling, normalization and syllable splitting as well as merging which ensure an error free 1:1-word mapping of each utterance with its mirror transcription file text. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model exhibits average 71.7% accuracy for our tested dataset. Read More

April 02 The Journey to PhD: Securing the UC Doctoral Scholarship

Securing the UC Doctoral Scholarship and embarking on my PhD journey wasn't a sudden leap; it was a carefully calculated marathon filled with extensive planning, daunting setbacks, and ultimate triumphs.

After over seven and half years of working in the industry at Therap (BD) Ltd., I knew I wanted to push the boundaries of Software Quality Assurance through academic research. The journey officially began in May 2025. I spent hours discussing my aspirations with my teachers, seniors, and juniors to map out the "why" and "how" of pursuing a PhD. During this intense planning phase, I received tremendous help and unwavering encouragement from my family, which gave me the clarity and confidence to move forward.

With my sights set on New Zealand for its innovative research culture, the real groundwork began. I needed to meet the stringent language requirements quickly, so I took the IELTS test in mid-June with just 11 days of preparation. Simultaneously, I reconnected with my academic mentors to secure strong Letters of Recommendation. I am forever in debt to my undergraduate and master's teachers and supervisors for their consistent help throughout the whole process—especially Professor Md. Golam Rabiul Alam, PhD and Mr. Annajiat Alim Rasel sir, whose guidance and support were invaluable.

Finding the right supervisor was the next critical step. I spent countless nights reading the ongoing research of potential supervisors to find the perfect alignment for my background in automation and machine learning. In May, I reached out to Associate Professor Fabian Gilson at the University of Canterbury. We had a great initial exchange, and he advised me to reach out again closer to October. Once October approached, I re-contacted him, which led to multiple virtual meetings to explore our options and align our research visions. These collaborative discussions directly shaped the core of my research proposal, focusing on "AI-Assisted Requirements Engineering," and I subsequently applied for the November 2025 UC Doctoral Scholarship round.

Then came the hardest part: waiting for the outcomes. The academic landscape is fiercely competitive, and the journey severely tested my resilience. Although I successfully received an Offer of Place from both Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) and Auckland University of Technology (AUT), I faced bitter scholarship rejections from both institutions.

But I kept my faith. Even amidst the rejections, the Almighty had a long-planned path for me. The ultimate breakthrough came when I received an official Offer of Place from the University of Canterbury (UC), quickly followed by the life-changing news that I had been awarded the centrally-funded UC Doctoral Scholarship. I am forever grateful and thankful to Him for guiding me to exactly where I am meant to be.

As I prepare to commence my PhD in June 2026, I look back at the rushed IELTS prep, the late-night proposal drafting, the unwavering support of my family and mentors, and the ultimate blessing of this scholarship. The real work is just beginning, and I am ready to push the boundaries of Software Quality Assurance in New Zealand.

My Travel Diaries

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.
Here are some moments captured from my journeys across different landscapes.

Boga Lake, Bandarban 23 December, 2015

"Where dragon myths sleep beneath the ripples. Perched 1,200 feet above sea level, this ancient volcanic lake holds a silence so deep it feels sacred—a hidden sapphire in the heart of the hills."

Keokradong, Bandarban 22 December, 2015

"A solitary silhouette etched against the fading twilight. High atop the peak, this skeletal guardian witnesses the quiet surrender of day to night, proving that even in decay, there is a haunting, resilient beauty."

Khumi Village, Boga Lake 22 December, 2015

"Nestled in the verdant embrace of the hills, life here moves at the rhythm of nature. Perched on bamboo stilts, these traditional homes of the Khumi community offer a glimpse into a serene existence, standing in quiet harmony with the wild, undulating landscape."

About Me

I don't just test software; I dismantle it to build it back stronger.

I am a Vice-Chancellor Medalist and a Senior Software Quality Assurance Engineer with over 7 years of industry experience. Currently, I sit at the intersection of practical engineering and academic research. At Therap (BD) Ltd., I co-lead a 25-member QA team, orchestrating end-to-end automation strategies that keep critical state-contract projects compliant and bug-free.

My career isn't just about finding bugs, it's about architecture and mentorship. From optimizing CI/CD pipelines to mentoring new engineers, I believe quality is a culture, not a phase. When I'm not automating API tests, I'm researching Natural Language Processing (NLP), teaching AI to validate references or detect sarcasm in Reddit texts.

The Professional

My industry work focuses on scalability and reliability. I specialize in building robust automation frameworks that reduce manual effort and accelerate release cycles.

Leadership: Co-leading 25 QA Engineers
Automation: API & UI Framework Design
Strategy: CI/CD Implementation (Jenkins/Docker)

The Strategist

My background in leadership goes back to my university days. Whether directing Human Resources for the Robotics Club or making moves at the Chess Club, I’ve always been driven by strategy and people management.
