Projects


IMDB REVIEW RATING - SENTIMENT ANALYSIS


Utilized Apache Spark for data cleaning and machine learning models for sentiment analysis of IMDb reviews. Optimized models with cross-validation, identified top reviewers by net helpfulness scores, and used data visualization to highlight trends and insights on community engagement and content quality.

ANALYSIS OF MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES FOR MUSIC GENRE CLASSIFICATION


Developed a Multi-Modal Music Genre Classification System using TensorFlow, PySpark, SVM, and NLP models. Improved genre classification accuracy through comprehensive data analysis and visualization, including Box plots, Heat maps, and T-SNE, to demonstrate balanced dataset distributions and audio feature correlations.

AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER DETECTION


Developed an advanced detection system using machine learning algorithms. Proficient in data analysis and model development with Python libraries (numpy, pandas, sklearn, keras). Applied various ML techniques, including Random Forest, Decision Trees, Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, SVC, and Gradient Boosting, to handle multivariate datasets and perform classification tasks.

COMPARISION OF LSTM AND ARIMA FOR STOCK MARKET PREDICTION


Led a team in developing LSTM and ARIMA models for stock market prediction. Utilized 10 years of FAANG data, applying comprehensive statistical and mathematical analysis. Achieved 85% accuracy with the ARIMA model, demonstrating significant profitability potential and a deep understanding of market dynamics.

AUTONOMOUS DRONE


Designed and developed an autonomous drone for obstacle-free navigation. Led a team to implement a YOLO-based object detection model, integrating it into the drone's system. This enhanced the drone's autonomous capabilities, demonstrating proficiency in computer vision and AI technologies.

LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM


Led full stack development of an iOS and web-based Library Management System. Enhanced user experience with a user-friendly UI for efficient check-in and check-out operations, and ensured robust back-end functionality using Firebase for real-time database management.
