About Me

I'm Tayyaba Arooj, a Computer Science graduate working on AI-driven solutions across machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. My work includes MelanoDetect AI, a melanoma detection device backed by Hong Kong Science and Technology Park funding. My final year design project has been published and recognized with first place at Hamdard University's FEST Open House.

Projects

AI-Based Skin Cancer Detection

Finetuned and evaluated ten CNN variants for systematic comparison of widely used CNN architectures for skin cancer detection.
Synthesized these findings into a qualitative and quantitative analysis for a research paper published in AJSET.

MelanoDetect AI

Led the development of AI-powered handheld melanoma detection device with a mobile app. The project secured HKD 100,000 in funding through the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park incubation program.

MelanoDetect AI

Privacy Preserving Sentiment Anlaysis based on various Capitals

Developed FedBiLSTM-Net by integrating LSTM with federated learning using the FedAvg algorithm for privacy-preserving sentiment analysis. Trained the model across 20 non-IID clients over 9 rounds, achieving a centralized evaluation accuracy of 80.17%. Co-authored the resulting research paper, published in the International Journal of Social Sciences Bulletin

LLM Reasoning

Developed a two stage pipeline using the Indiana University- Chest X-Rays dataset for automated radiology report generation by implementing Qwen-VL and MedGemma-27B during my internship at Medical Imaging and Diagnostics Lab, National Center of Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) .
