Ehtesham Hashmi
About
In my pursuit as a PhD researcher, I focus on detecting hate speech across different languages, using methodologies that prioritize privacy and ethical standards. Understanding that hate speech manifests in diverse forms such as misogyny, racism, cyberbullying, xenophobia, and ableism, my work aims to develop nuanced detection tools that are sensitive to the specificities of each form. My research utilizes the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and diffusion models to address the significant challenge of interpreting and integrating multimodal data. With a robust background in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, my expertise in Multilingual Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Advanced Data Mining, and Explainable AI informs my study of language semantics and its impacts. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of the field by creating solutions that enhance security in digital communications while upholding the dignity and respect of individuals worldwide. Currently, I actively contribute as a potential reviewer for several esteemed journals published by Elsevier (Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Expert Systems with Applications, Knowledge-Based Systems), Springer Nature (Cluster Computing, Scientific Reports, Artificial Intelligence Review, Social Network Analysis and Mining, Language Resources and Evaluation, Neural Computing and Applications, Complex & Intelligent Systems), and IEEE Access.
