Projects

NLP Projects

• Fake News Classification

  GitHub

  • Technologies Used: Python, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, nltk, langdetect, wordcloud, matplotlib, regex, numpy, pandas
  • Implemented an LSTM Model on Kaggle Fake News Dataset with over 70K news text data, with 97% accuracy
  • Along with standard text pre-processing, langdetect library was used to identify & remove news in other languages(French, German, Arabic, etc.) giving better model performance.
  • For EDA, WordCloud, and plotting of bi-grams and tri-grams were used to identify the general words present in the corpus.
  • LSTM Model was build using TensorFlow along with pre-trained GloVe Word Embeddings.

• Topic Modeling Using RACE Dataset

  GitHub

  • Technologies Used: Python, Regex, NLTK, Gensim, Scikit-Learn, tSNE, pyLDAvis, bokeh, Git
  • This NLP Project aims to use statistical models to reveal the abstract “topics” present in a large set of text documents, thus trying to classify documents based on different themes they convey.
  • Three Topic Modeling algorithms were used namely, Latent Semantic Analysis(LSA), Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA), and Non-Negative Matrix Factorization(NMF).
  • BERTopic & Top2Vec were also explored which gave quite good results.

• Medical Embeddings and Clinical Trial Search Engine

  Github

  • Technologies Used: Python, Gensim, Word2Vec, FastText, Streamlit, Git
  • The Project aims to train SkipGram and FastText Models on COVID-19 Clinical Trials Dataset and builds a Search Engine where user can type any COVID-19 related keyword and it presents all the top n similar results from the dataset

Computer Vision Projects

• Image Coloring using Autoencoders

  Github

  • Technologies Used: Python, TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-image, matplotlib, numpy
  • I tried using Autoencoders and Transfer Learning for this one. I tried VGG16 and InceptionResNetV2 as an encoder/feature extractor layer and a custom decoder layer.

• Muti-class Image Classification Model

  Github

  • Technologies Used: Python, tensorflow, keras, matplotlib, flask, gunicorn, pathlib, numpy
  • The project aims to classify images into driving license, social security, and others category by using a CNN model architecture.
  • An accuracy of 96% was achieved on test data of 150 images. Deployment was done using gunicorn and flask API.
