Summary
I am Nigusu Yitayal Fered, an experienced and driven aching and research experience across two Ethiopian universities. My research interests span a wide array of fields including scientific data analysis, image processing, machine learning, deep learning, remote sensing, natural language processing, and information retrieval. I have actively conducted and contributed to various research such as spelling checker, coronary heart disease prediction and Pneumonia prediction models in advanced machine and deep learning algorithms. In my academic work, I developed a spell checker for Amharic text, which is stored in the Jimma University repository and serves as a reference for future researchers in the natural language processing (NLP) domain. I am committed to advancing research in information technology and to developing innovative solutions that address both academic and practical challenges.
