Shayekh Bin Islam

I am broadly interested in natural language processing and machine learning. My research involves complex reasoning, language agents, preference optimization and parameter-efficient systems for real-world problems using deep neural networks.
I have been collaborating with Cohere Labs (Prev. Cohere For AI), Allen Institute for AI, and Salesforce Research which led to publications in ACL’25 (Main, first-author), EMNLP’24 (Findings, first-author), ICLR’25 (Spotlight, co-author) and a submission in NeurIPS’25. During the Fatima Fellowship 2023 program, I was fortunate to work with Mohamed El Banani from the University of Michigan and World Labs. I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
