Projects

I’ve done a few over the past few years

Non-coursework and open-source contributions

1. Pathfinding Visualiser July 2020

   Implemented a pathfinding visualiser in Vanilla JavaScript that works on the basis of contour terrain maps, and not simply mazes. The grid is inherently a weighted graph, and path choices can be affected by the cost incurred to time or energy utilisation by “uphill” or “downhill” movements. The project included the implementation of the A-star and Djikstra’s algorithms, along with a custom algorithm for natural contoured terrain generation. Link

2. Discord Quiz Bot March 2020 - Present

   Worked on Harish Krishna’s bot for conducting discord quizzes, that is based on an earlier project by me to implement send-only channels in discord (for pouncing in quizzes). Worked on code cleanup, and added slide-sharing as pictures functionality.

3. The Neovim Project March 2020 - Present

   Contributing bugfixes to neovim. Link to latest PR

Course Projects

1. Hybrid MT: Implementation of UVR-NMT April 2020

   Implemented the Neural Machine Translation with Universal Visual Representation paper in a team of two as part of a NLP Applications course project, for EN-FR translation. Also implemented basic Attention for the baseline. Link

2. Learning Bilingual word embeddings with minimal bilingual data November 2019

   Implemented A robust self-learning method for fully unsupervised cross-lingual mappings of word embeddings in a team of two as part of a NLP course project, for EN-HI data. Link

3. Sentiment Classification for Bengali News Articles May 2019

   Creating a pipeline for polarity classification of Bengali news articles using multiple methods, and comparing the results using three different methods of evaluation Link

4. Acronym Disambiguation by word usage Analysis November 2018

   Built a system in a team of two to use the context around the occurrence of an acronym and to make an estimation as to the correct expansion intended to a reasonably high degree of accuracy.

5. High-Low Game in the Ethereum Blockchain September 2019

   Wrote a smart contract and tests, in a team of two, to play the High-Low House vs Players game in Solidity. Link

6. Interactive Linux Shell in C October 2018

7. Proxy Server in Python April 2019

   Made an HTTP web server in a team of two that caches webpages and implements authentication and blacklisting as part of my Computer Networks Assignment. link

8. Basic Language Model and Tokenizer September 2019

   Built an English Language Tokenizer to correctly identify numbers, email addresses, mentions, currency values, and more. Runs 5x faster than NLTK’s default word_tokenize.

   Made a basic n-gram language model, applied Kneyser-Ney Smoothing, and evaluated it. link

9. Comparison of Image Classification techniques and Dimensionality reduction methods November 2019

   As part of our Statistical Methods in AI course, analysed different techniques for Image Classification using various datasets. Also compared multiple dimensionality reduction methods (Eigenfaces, Fisherfaces, Resnet) to gauge the most effective. link

10. Analysis of Gendered Pronoun Usage in Corporate Environments April 2018

    Analysed an extension of the Enron email corpus to note patterns in usage of gender-neutral pronouns across social strata in a corporate environment Link
