A Novel Approach of Traffic Updates Based on User Feedback for Smart City
csjournals
This paper gives idea about the implementation of Application for Traffic Updates based on user inputs. We have made a mobile application for the residents of one city to see the status of traffic in various parts of the city and at key traffic junctions.

Deep Learning to Solve Math Word Problems
- Present
• Generated a simple word problem dataset with single variable equations and implemented a Bidirectional GRU-LSTM Seq2Seq model with Attention to identify the corresponding math equation.
• Implemented a Transformer model to improve predictions and accuracy measured by the Corpus BLEU score.

Deep Learning Methods for Modeling Precipitation
- Present
• Performed temporal and spatial analysis of humidity, temperature and surface pressure and examined its effect on precipitation.
• Implemented and trained a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to produce a well-generalized distribution of precipitation in order to better capture the variability as opposed to a Dense Neural Network.

Exploratory Data Analysis and Visualization of Human Trafficking dataset
• Performed exploratory data analysis and created visualizations on the human trafficking and migration dataset collected from the CTDC collaborative.
• Created an interactive site to present the findings and patterns in human trafficking across different countries of the world using D3
• Link of the interactive Component: https://bl.ocks.org/akshatapatel/raw/97326ed42c9d5e29ca6986e87d656146/Other creatorsSee project -
Brain State Classification using SVM
• Implemented realignment and segmentation of brain fMRI images in MATLAB.
• Performed dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis in Python.
• Classified the brain state images into one of the four states - rest, finger movement, lips movement or foot movement using Support Vector Machine and testing using K-fold cross validation using Scikit-learn in Python. -
Iris Recognition using Applied Machine Learning
• Implemented Iris Localization, Image Normalization and Enhancement on the CASIA-Iris V1 dataset.
• Extracted the iris patterns/features and implemented Fisher Linear Discriminant for dimensionality reduction and iris matching.
• Output: Correct Recognition Rate – 75%

YouTube Channel Recommendation System
-
• Built a flask app for a system that recommends YouTube channels based on the user inputs such as product description, product category and video category for a product that is to be promoted.
• Used the YouTube Data API to extract features of the latest videos dynamically.
• Dockerized the training and prediction services, which used the word embeddings of the features and channel popularity to find the top 5 relevant channels.Other creatorsSee project -
Aspect Extraction Using RNN
-
• Analyzed restaurant reviews from the SemEval 2014-Task 4 data set and created normalized vectors from words using the word2vec function from the gensim library.
• Implemented a Recurrent Neural Network with the word vector input for aspect extraction in TensorFlow to predict output aspect vectors.

Sentiment Analysis (Machine Learning)
-
• Cleaned the restaurant reviews from the yelp data set by using Python libraries such as NumPy and BeautifulSoup.
• Analyzed the sentiment of the reviews (positive or negative) using lexicon-based classifier and the Bigram model of words using Scikit-learn library.
• Visualization of the accuracy of different classification techniques such as random forest, support vector machine and Naive Bayes in Orange tool.
