Projects:

  1. Multi-Topic IR chatbot | Python, Flask, Apache Solr, Tensorflow
    • Developed a multi-topic information retrieval chatbot capable of performing 15+ turns of coherent utterances.
    • Indexed 200k+ multi-lingual Reddit data in Apache Solr and used it as the chatbot dataset.
    • Used a pre-trained BERT model to classify chitchat and Reddit data, calculated the similarities of the top 20 retrieved documents with the user query, and responded with the document having the maximum similarity.

  2. Face Detection and Clustering | Python, OpenCV
    • Developed a computer vision project using OpenCV and a face recognition library to detect and cluster faces.
    • Performed face detection using OpenCV's built-in Haar-cascades classifier and cropped the detected faces.
    • Utilized k-means algorithm to cluster faces with the same identity.
    • Improved image organization by grouping similar faces together, achieving the project goal of efficient face recognition and image processing.

  3. Camera Calibration and Rotation Matrix Determination | Python, OpenCV
    • Developed a computer vision project to determine the camera calibration matrix and rotation matrix using Python.
    • Implemented OpenCV library to extract intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera.
    • Utilized a chessboard pattern for image calibration and used singular value decomposition to calculate the rotation matrix.
    • The project improved the accuracy of image recognition and augmented reality applications.
