The best technical project page is the one where readers can see what was built and what the evidence really supports.

What was built

The documented system combines BERT-base text representations with ResNet-50 image representations, then fuses them through a shared representation for ranking.

Retrieval layer

FAISS provides approximate nearest-neighbor retrieval over the learned representation, making retrieval part of the system boundary.

Evaluation

Precision@10, Recall@10, and NDCG@10 are described on a held-out test split. Their definitions and scope should remain visible.

Limitations

The source resume describes a small synthetic dataset, so the portfolio should present the work as evidence of architecture and evaluation discipline rather than production-scale proof.

Why this page exists

This page is part of Abdullah’s technical knowledge library: a set of specific, crawlable resources that connect a search question to practical engineering evidence.
