InventingAfrica's Pathto ResilientIntelligence
Who I Am
Dr. Heman Mohabeer is the Founder & Director of Intelligent Africa Solutions Ltd (Mauritius). I lead efforts to design AI systems that are resilient, locally relevant, and explainable.
My core contribution is EvoTransformer, a research-grade architecture that mutates its structure during training via Lamarckian inheritance and evolutionary mechanisms.
Background & Credentials
- PhD in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (University of Mauritius)
- Long-standing interest in neuroevolution, adaptive systems, and applied AI
- Published in international conferences and journals
- Active in training, policy, and AI strategy for African institutions
Philosophy & Approach
"AI should adapt, not be rigid."
I believe in building lean but powerful systems—models that can learn, reshape, and remain auditable. My work bridges theory, deployment, and strategy in real-world contexts—especially for smaller nations and constrained environments.
Projects & Innovations
Building intelligent systems that evolve, adapt, and endure
EvoTransformer
Patent PendingThe world's first self-evolving Transformer architecture
EvoTransformer is my flagship innovation: a self-evolving transformer model that adapts its architecture (layers, heads, feedforward size) in response to performance metrics and feedback. It merges neural evolution, Lamarckian inheritance, and online optimization.
Key Facts & Benchmarks
- Patent filed: US Provisional Application
- Whitepaper published on Zenodo (DOI registered)
- Competes with larger models on reasoning benchmarks using far fewer parameters
Innovation Highlights
- Adaptive architecture evolution during training
- Lamarckian weight inheritance mechanism
- Demonstrated on PIQA reasoning tasks

Vision & Future Focus
"Africa deserves evolving intelligence—not outsourced models."— Dr. Heman Mohabeer
My Vision
I envision AI systems that adapt, optimize, and remain transparent, especially under constrained infrastructure.
My roadmap includes continued development of EvoTransformer, integration into compliance, governance, and domain-specific reasoning, and building communities of AI research in Africa.
