A 16 year old Muslim student from Assam has gained international attention after presenting her research at a global conference on artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Huma Abia Kanta, a Grade XII student at Royal Global School, Guwahati, presented her paper at the Advancement and Innovation International Scientific Practical Conference held in Azerbaijan. The event brought together academic institutions from multiple countries and focused on emerging developments in AI and machine learning.

Her research, titled ML Based Prediction of Phycocyanin Purity, examined how machine learning models predict pigment purity levels used in sustainable bio resource industries. She compared six regression models and achieved a mean absolute error of 0.058, improving on the standard laboratory deviation of 0.31. The paper will be published in international journals indexed in Scopus.

Huma has also authored another paper on natural language processing, accepted for presentation at RegICON 2025. She has co authored three additional research papers, which are under review.

Beyond research, she leads an educational startup named desicodes. The initiative works on an Assamese Python transpiler to promote coding in regional languages and improve access to computer science education in the Northeast.

She has also contributed to environmental work by supporting the Hargila Army initiative, helping digitise traditional motifs linked to the endangered Greater Adjutant Stork for handloom use.

Huma credited her mentors for their guidance, highlighting the role of academic support in her journey.
