Summary
Ataur Rahman is a doctoral researcher and computational linguist with a decade of experience bridging NLP, ML, and data engineering across academia and industry. Currently affiliated with Université libre de Bruxelles and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, he specializes in Bangla NLP, knowledge-graph-driven text integration, and pragmatic problems like opinion mining, hate-speech detection, negation/speculation, and handwritten text recognition. He combines teaching and research roles with prior software engineering experience in iOS development, giving him practical product-facing instincts alongside rigorous research training. Trained across leading European programs in computational linguistics and data science, he is particularly motivated by building systems that go beyond deep learning alone to support richer, explainable language understanding.
