PROJECTS

Personalized Chat-Bot form Facebook Messages using Neural Nets Apr 2018-May 2018
 Developed a personalized chat-bot which imitates your replies learning from your Facebook messages. An Encoder –
Decoder framework called seq2seq model with RNN cells is used.
 The chats from Facebooks messenger are processed using NLP techniques and dataset is prepared in message and reply
format.
 The system is implemented using TensorFlow, Python’s Numpy, Pandas, NLTK and Scikit-Learn libraries and Jupyter
notebook is used as IDE.
Predicting User Ratings based on Reviews Using Yelp Data Feb 2018-Apr 2018
• A sentiment analysis model which predicts the actual user ratings for businesses based on their reviews on “Yelp”.
• The reviews are processed using NLP techniques to extract the best features from them.
• It uses two methods NB classification and Logistic regression, to build classification models for the test data. Thus, as a
secondary goal, performance and accuracy of both models is analyzed and presented.
• The system is implemented using Python’s Numpy, Pandas, NLTK and Scikit-Learn libraries and Jupyter notebook is used
as IDE.

PRM and RRT Planners for Holonomic Robots Mar 2018-May 2018
 Probabilistic road map(PRM) and Rapidly-exploring random trees(RRT) are implemented for a 2-D holonomic robot in a
2-D workspace to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.
 Sampling the points, generating road map, Dijkstra search and path optimization are performed and robot’s motion along
the path is visualized.
 Implemented using Python, Numpy, Matplotlib and Scipy.

Intruder detection in restricted areas using IoT Oct 2016-Mar 2107

• A security system which implements modified LBPH Face recognition algorithm to recognize faces in real time.
• The comparison is done with a predefined data set of faces and intrusion is reported.
• The system is written using OpenCV library in C++ and is integrated with an Arduino board with camera and proximity
sensor. A module has been written in PHP for reporting via e-mails.
Automated Seating Plan for External Examinations Dec 2015-Mar 2016
• A system for arranging registered students for an external exam in a pre-defined set of classrooms using some algorithms.
• It is developed using Java. Apache library is used for accessing MS-Word files.
• The seat arrangement and the required documents for invigilators are given as output in the required format as MS-Word
files.
