Protein-Based Fish Species Identification: Dataset, Models, and Insights from Native Bangladeshi Fish
N. H. Fahim, A. U. Muhib and M. S. Rahman. 2026 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Quantum Photonics, Artificial Intelligence, and Networking (QPAIN), Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2026, pp. 1–6.
- Contribution
- Curated a study dataset of 2,845 protein sequences spanning nine native Bangladeshi fish species and compared seven architectures under a shared evaluation.
- Result
- A motif-aware CNN-Transformer with type-aware positional encoding reached 79.80% accuracy with CPU-capable inference, running 5× faster and using a model 42× smaller than the ProtBERT baseline.
- Why it matters
- The work examines species identification in a resource-constrained setting where deployment cost is part of the research problem.
