Alen Issayev

Researcher

Astana IT University

My current research focus is centered on Applied Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Multimodal AI, with a strong interest in document understanding, OCR, vision-language models, and LLM-based systems. I am currently exploring synthetic data generation for low-resource Turkic languages, especially for OCR and document recognition tasks. This includes building realistic multilingual document datasets, designing generation pipelines, and preparing data for fine-tuning modern OCR/VLM models. Another important direction of my work is the development of practical AI systems based on RAG, LLM agents, and multimodal reasoning. I am interested in turning research ideas into usable AI tools for real-world domains such as document processing, legal technology, education, and urban surveillance.
