Projects

Predicting SalesPrice of the house

April 2021

In this project, the dataset consisting of housing data with 81 features was preprocessed to select the top 30 features using Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation and, one-way ANOVA. The model was trained using Lasso Regression and Random Forest to achieve an accuracy of more than 80%.

Predicting the popularity of music album

March 2021

In this project the data set consisting of music album data was pre-processed to remove skewness and multicollinearity. Along with that Spearman correlation and Kendall Tau was used for feature selection and the model was oversampled using SMOTE and trained using Ordinal Regression and Penalized Random Forest to achieve an accuracy of 83%.

Classification of Sanskrit Slokas

November 2020

In this project the dataset consisting of Sanskrit slokas were preprocessed to remove unnecessary punctuations and then tokenized data was trained using LSTM to achieve an accuracy of 85% in predicting the author for the sloka.

Augmented Reality Platform to Teach/Learn Undergraduate Chiral Chemistry

April 2020 - May 2020

In this project an app was created using Unity and Vuforia AR library which enabled the users to create 3D chiral compounds and test their knowledge based on the in-app quiz feature.

Andy Mouse

September 2019 - November 2019

  • Developed an android app using Android Studio, Rest API, and pyautogui library that enables the user to use their mobile device as a portable mouse.
  • The app was designed to assist the professors in presenting the slides and required the accelerometer and gyroscope of the phone to provide an accurate representation of the mouse cursor.
