Projects

Master Thesis: “Implementing And Evaluating Fuzzy Rule-Based Explainer Systems for Deep Neural Networks: From Local Explainability to Global Understanding”, Implemented a fuzzy if–then rule system for classification tasks by leveraging important features identified from deep neural network decisions. Designed the system to mimic DNN performance while providing both local and global explainability and conducted analysis of its limitations. Technologies: Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, SHAP, and Captum, Bachelor Thesis: “Persian News Article Summarization Using Deep Learning”, Developed an automatic summarization system for Persian news articles using an RNN-based sequence-to-sequence model with attention. Applied NLP techniques including tokenization and word embeddings, and trained the model to generate concise, coherent summaries while preserving key information. Evaluated performance using standard metrics. Technologies: Python, TensorFlow, NLTK, HAZM
