AITF Tutor for the Third Batch

2026-09-01T00:00:00+00:00

I have once again joined the Artificial Intelligence Talent Factory (AITF) as a tutor, this time for the programme’s third batch. My team is developing an AI-powered CCTV monitoring system for Sekolah Rakyat (People’s Schools). The system automatically detects inappropriate behaviour, such as physical violence (punching and kicking), smoking, and inappropriate physical contact between students, to help create a safer school environment.

I was invited to give two guest lectures in the Nalara Academy online course: Object Detection (Session 8) and Image Segmentation (Session 9).

AITF Tutor for the Second Batch

2026-03-01T00:00:00+00:00

I joined the second batch of the Artificial Intelligence Talent Factory (AITF) as a tutor. The programme was initiated by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia and co-organised with Universitas Brawijaya. My team developed an AI system that uses large language models (LLMs) to classify socio-economic data.

Introduction to PyTorch Workshop

2026-02-28T00:00:00+00:00

Over the last three weeks of February 2026, the Introduction to PyTorch Workshop was held at the Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Brawijaya. I was one of the three speakers and led two of the three days. The hands-on sessions covered all the essential steps in building an AI model, from preparing the data to training, testing, and optimising the model.

My sessions: Environment Setup, PyTorch Overview, Dataset and DataLoader and Writing Models, Training and Testing.
