I'm Omar Tood — an AI Researcher and Software Engineer with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence. I build intelligent systems around Large Language Models, agentic AI, and transformer architectures, with a focus on bringing modern NLP to low-resource languages like Somali.
|
A large language model built for the Somali language — tokenizer, pretraining, and fine-tuning for quality generation in an underserved language. |
An agentic tutor for AI & data science — retrieval-grounded answers and step-by-step reasoning powered by LLMs. |
|
A legal-reasoning assistant over constitutional text — retrieval-augmented, citation-aware answers grounded in sources. |
An evaluation suite measuring how well models understand and generate Somali — standardized tasks and metrics. |
Self-attention visualized over a Somali sentence — the kind of low-resource NLP I work on. Each query token lights up and weighs the rest of the sequence.
