The Faculty of Applied Sciences is proud to announce that Mr. Islam A. Qader and Dr. Tarik A. Rashid successfully presented their research paper, “Kurdish Handwritten Character Recognition System: Review of Methods and Progress,” at the 10th International Engineering Conference (IEC) 2024.

The prestigious conference took place on October 23, 2024, at Dedeman Erbil. It was sponsored by IEEE through the IEEE Iraq Section. The paper explores the field of Kurdish Handwritten Character Recognition (KHCR). It addresses key challenges such as complex script, limited data, and different handwriting styles. The study emphasizes the need for strong models that can accurately interpret diverse handwriting. In this way, it makes a significant contribution to the advancement of automated recognition systems for Kurdish text.

This achievement highlights the Faculty’s ongoing dedication to innovation, engineering education, and global collaboration.
