PROJECTS

Server Load Prediction Model

Implemented Decision tree and Bagging classifier on server load data set. The bagging classifier with an F-score of 0.91 performed relatively better than the decision tree classifier with an F-score of 0.84.

Wisconsin Breast Cancer Classifier

Implemented Decision tree and Random forest classifier on Wisconsin breast cancer data set. Random forest with an F-score of 0.96 performed better than the Decision tree with an F-score of 0.86.

Cognitive Model of Perception of Emotions

  • Simulated visual perception of emotions using deep Convolutional neural networks and Deep Dream algorithm. Found results consistent with the findings of psychological studies conducted on human beings.
  • Used Keras API to create an emotion recognition model after training it on the FER 2013 data consisting of 7 classes of emotions. The F-score of the trained model was 0.6 on the test data set.

MOOC Certification rate vs Economic Status

  • Used linear regression and visualization techniques to model MOOC data from MIT-X and Havard-X. Found correlation between certification per registration rate and course fee per GDP Capita with Pearson coefficient of – 0.52 and p-value of 0.009.

RASA Chat Bot

  • Built RASA chatbot for Hindi language on WALS dataset using spacy library and embeddings from fasttext.cc.
  • Fine-tuned GPT-2 language model on Tiny Shakespeare and Bill Sum corpora using HuggingFace set of tools. After fine tuning generated some text using the fine-tuned model.

Engineering Team Lead(Team Future Footprints), Smart India Hackathon.

S.I.H. Grand Finalist - Smart Vehicles (Retrofitting of existing vehicles into electric vehicles.) Our team was a Grand Finalist of Smart India Hackathon, Hardware Edition 2018. We were among 10 of the best teams out of 700+ teams across the nation. Our team successfully presented the proof-of-concept of retrofitting the existing diesel vehicle into an electric variant using an Induction motor, Lead-acid batteries, and controller. We successfully completed the test run.

Design Lead(Team Future Footprints)

Our team Future Footprints designed and developed an Electric Car. It is a two-city electric car with a maximum speed of 45 KMPH, mileage of 60 km, and load-carrying capacity of 35 kgs. We participated in the National Level Competition of EFFI - CAR 2016 at UIET, Chandigarh. Our team successfully passed all the tests but the endurance test. We secured All India Rank - 08.
