BITCOIN PRICE PREDICTION

  • Used a bitcoin price dataset containing variables such as Lowest price, Highest price, Close price, Open price and Volume
  • Created a Future price data variable by shifting the Closed price data down by 3 data points
  • Created a Rise/Fall data field by comparing Future and Closed price variables
  • Preprocessed the data using MinMaxScaler and created Buy and Sell lists
  • Used a multi-layered LSTM neural network along with Batch Normalization and Dropout layers
  • The model predicted if the Bitcoin price would rise/fall for a given data point with a test accuracy of 92%
  • Software and packages used: Python, Keras, Pandas, Numpy

MANGO LEAVES DISEASE DETECTION USING CNNs

  • Main objective of the project was to build a CNN model that could predict the presence of disease in a Mango Leaf image.
  • Used a Kaggle dataset of mango leaf images that were healthy and diseased.
  • Used an Image data generator to augment the dataset.
  • Built a multi-layer Deep Neural Network using Convolutional, MaxPooling2d, and Dense layers, achieving an accuracy of 97% on the validation dataset.
  • Presented a conference paper on this project at the International Conference on Innovative Computing and Communications 2021, and published the same as part of the Springer AISC series.
  • Softwares and packages used: Python, Keras, Tensorflow, Numpy

NON INVASIVE GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEM

  • Developed a non-invasive technique to detect the blood glucose level of a patient
  • We fabricated a dielectric spectroscopy sensor which helped in calculating the blood glucose level without requiring the need for a blood sample
  • We also built an RNN model which forecasted time and helped in approximately predicting the glucose levels using past patient data.
  • Researched different glucose measurement techniques
  • Researched dielectric spectroscopy, Kalman smoothing filters
  • Sensor data conversion and RNN model for approximately forecasting future glucose levels
  • Software and packages used: Python, Keras, Tensorflow

Accomplishments

    AI Engineer

    Simplicontract Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

    Apr 2021 - Aug 2023

  • Fine-tuned a Faster RCNN model to detect headings and whitespace information in a given contract image
  • Worked on Extractive and Abstract Text Summarization POCs using Transformer's Pegasus Models
  • Worked on sentence and text similarity using BERT and fasttext vectorizers
  • Fine-tuned a pre-trained BERT model for Question-Answering to extract legal contract data
  • Experimented with various BERT models such as RoBERTa, DistilBERT, and CamemBERT, which are all pre-trained on the SquadV2 dataset for question answering
  • Built a BILSTM-CRF model for sequence labeling. The model extracted required contract elements from a given context, that it learned from annotated sequences.
  • Leveraged the LayoutParser DNN model to order and reconstruct a given page from a contract
  • Ordered the boxes from the layout parser response and used Azure OCR response to map all the words to the correct box
  • Built an NLP model for detecting headings of a given contract, using feature vectors such as font size, bold information, count of POS (part-of-speech) tags such as nouns, verbs, cardinal digits, punctuations and so on, presence of enumeration and case of the text.
  • Developed a Risk Graph for a contract
  • The graph consists of various references in a contract. Focused on the most important clauses, and found all sorts of references in the clause that come from other clauses.
