About Me

A data science aficionado with different projects in the field of Data Science. Love reading good books and doing photography. I believe in methodology which says "Its better to fail than to cheat." I like to explore and learn new things. I would do if anything has to be done no matter what how much time and attempts it will take.

Optical Character Recognition

Mentor- Dr. K.C Tripathi • January 2017

OCR is an application implemented in MATLAB. OCR uses Template Matching algorithm to recognize text in the image and converts it into .txt format.

Face Recognition using Extreme Learning Machine

Mentor- Ms. Kumud Kundu • August 2017 - Present

It is a Single Hidden Layer Feed Forward Neural Network which uses Inverse operation to find output weights instead of Gradient Descent.Current accuracy of Model is 73 % our aim is to push the accuracy to 98 %.

Chat Application in Android using Bluetooth API

Mentor- Mr. Tarun Bharti • June 2017 - July 2017

BlueChat is an Android Application that uses bluetooth feature of android to connect and then send message between two devices. It uses Bluetooth API for both connection and transfer of messages. More than two devices cannot communicate at one time.

Face Recognition using Eigen Vector

• September 2017

In this project face of a person is randomly selected from the database and then using Eigen vector and principle component analysis, best match from the database is discovered. AT&T face database is used as the database.

Certification

Machine Learning

• Coursera

This course provides a great introduction to Machine Learning (ML). I was able to understand several ML paradigms and respective intuition as well as a decent approach of visualizing data, rectify data and then using basic yet impressive Hypothesis functions and Algorithms to get result from the data.
