Seminar on “Use of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Biomedical Signal Classification and their Applications in Healthcare”

On June 21, 2023, the Engineering Students Association of Bangladesh (ESAB) AIUB Unit Face successfully organized a seminar titled "Use of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Biomedical Signal Classification and Their Applications in Healthcare". The session began at 3:30 PM with more than 50 attendees at Annex 3, room 3208.

The program started with the opening remarks by Prof. Dr. A.B.M. Siddique Hossain (Dean, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB). He gave a brief introduction about machine learning and deep learning, how this specific domain is having an impact on the 4th industrial revolution, and finally discussed the different types of opportunities one can enlighten themselves by exploring this fields. Following that, the honorable speaker, Md. Kafiul Islam, PhD, SMIEEE (Associate Professor, Department of EEE, IUB), discussed significant advances in the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques in the field of biomedical signal classification and their potential impact on healthcare. Furthermore, in his talk, he discussed the Biomedical Instrumentation and Signal Processing Lab (BISPL) and some research areas surrounding BISPL. Moreover, he described the scope and positive impact of machine learning and deep learning over Electroencephalography (EEG) and Brain Computer Interface (BCI) for various kinds of projects regarding Convolutional Neural networks, Screening of Depression in Young Adults, Artefact and Epileptic Seizure Detection, and many others. Lastly, he talked about the challenges that he faced conducting his research while also motivating the participants by discussing the opportunities that they might get to explore and contribute not only to the field of machine learning and deep learning but also to the field of medical science. Next, an engaging Q & A session followed the presentation, allowing faculty members and participants to interact with the speakers and gain further clarification on the topics discussed. Finally, the seminar was successfully concluded by the Mentor of ESAB AIUB Unit Face Dr. Md. Saniat Rahman Zishan (Director, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB). He extended his gratitude to the honorable speaker and highly appreciated the fruitful participation of all the attendees.

After that, Dr. Md. Hasan Imam (Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB) thanked and presented a gift hamper to the speaker. Later, Dr. Md. Saniat Rahman Zishan handed over the crest to the speaker as a symbol of honor for his valuable contribution to the session. The event was graced by the presence of Motivator of ESAB AIUB Unit Face, Mr. Mehedi Azad Shawon (Assistant Professor, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB).
