Intelligent Computing Research Group
A collaborative research community advancing Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science and intelligent computing — carrying promising ideas beyond the dissertation, into publications, software, datasets and real-world innovation.
Overview
The Intelligent Computing Research Group (ICResG) is a collaborative research community that brings together students, graduates, academics, researchers and industry professionals to advance Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science and intelligent computing and to carry promising ideas beyond the dissertation, into publications, software, datasets and real-world innovation.
Open membership irrespective of institution or location. Contribution-based authorship — recognition is earned, never automatic.

Internet of Things
This research explores the convergence of Federated Learning, Edge Intelligence, Situational Awareness, and IoT security as a pathway towards privacy-preserving and context-aware security for distributed Internet of Things environments. The study examines how collaborative machine learning at the edge can support security monitoring and threat detection without requiring sensitive IoT data to be centrally collected. It will develop a research agenda identifying key architectural, methodological, privacy, security, and evaluation challenges, while establishing opportunities for future experimental research and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Natural Language Processing
This research proposes developing and evaluating a multilingual Large Language Model (LLM) for under-resourced Ethiopian languages. It focuses on building quality multilingual datasets, improving model training through techniques such as transfer learning and fine-tuning, and evaluating performance across tasks including translation, question answering, summarization, text generation, and sentiment analysis. The study also addresses fairness, hallucination, cultural accuracy, code-switching, dialect variation, and limited data. The expected result is an open, reproducible framework with datasets, benchmarks, methodologies, and a prototype Ethiopian-language LLM that can support inclusive AI, education, digital language preservation, and public services.
