OverviewAI-generated summary

Shakil Rafi's research spans multiple disciplines, with recent publications exploring the algebraic framework for approximating functions using neural network polynomials and the development of algebraic approaches for neural networks, referred to as nnR. His work also delves into applied areas, including an analysis of gender and income disparities within the US Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan program and a census-tract level clustering of ride-share usage in Chicago during the pandemic. Additionally, Rafi has investigated the genomic-island cassette architecture driving pathogenic *Enterococcus cecorum* lineages, proposing a machine-learning framework called Cassette2Vec-EC. He has collaborated with Arna Nishita Nithila and Ukash Nakarmi at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
