Yeraly Gainulla / Aspiring AI Engineer

I am a high school student at Aqbobek Lyceum in Aktobe, Kazakhstan. My research interests are primarily in machine learning, with a focus on natural language processing (NLP). I am passionate about exploring how AI models can be optimized and trained.

Currently, I am working on several independent projects, including KazBERT (a BERT model for Kazakh language) and AI code detection systems. I am also preparing for international AI olympiads to strengthen my theoretical foundations and problem-solving skills. My long-term goal is to contribute to research in machine learning and pursue an academic path in AI.
