I am 🍓 Md Abdus Sahid better known as Sahid Saif, 🎓 graduated from the Computer Science and Engineering Department ⊆ Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU) in November 2023 where I am advised by Professors Dr. Md Palash Uddin and Hasi Saha. This bachelor phase, additionally, unlocked the door to research for me.
I would love to collaborate on research in federated learning, large foundation models, machine learning, and their interplays, with the aim of submitting our work to top venues such as ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, AAAI, JMLR, NAACL, EMNLP etc. Feel free to reach me if you want.
I am consistently enthusiastic about designing straightforward and well-founded algorithms that are applicable, scalable, and adaptable to real-world challenges. The genuine fascination in this area stems, moreover, from what we can do when we integrate advanced learning techniques with a system. My research interest is on federated learning, large foundation models, and machine learning, examining their interplay with the aim of making impactful contributions to industry.
In federated learning, a machine learning framework, multiple entities (clients) collaborate under the guidance of a central server or service provider to tackle machine learning tasks. Each client maintains its raw data locally, refraining from sharing or transferring it. Instead, they transmit focused updates, which are promptly aggregated to collectively achieve the learning objective. Federated learning, however, faces formidable challenges, notably in communication efficiency, data heterogeneity, computational constraints, privacy and security, and so on. My goal is to overcome these hurdle.

I participated in the Technocracy 2019 and NCPC 2020 onsite programming contests. Additionally, I have taken part in numerous online programming contests on various platforms such as Codeforces, Codechef, and UVa. Furthermore, I have served on the program committees of Programmers Arena in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
