About Me

My name is Nor Saiful Azam Bin Nor Azmi, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the Kitami Institute of Technology in Kitami, Japan. As a researcher in the Text Information Processing Laboratory, my work centers on advancing deep learning architectures to identify toxic and cyberbullying content in digital media. My research bridges both unimodal and multimodal frameworks. My research interests overlap with Natural Language Processing (NLP), Multimodal Machine Learning, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
