Selected Works

Here are some of the selected works done lately. Feel free to check them out.

LLM Driven Program Synthesis via Bayesian Optimization

Developed a novel prompt design algorithm using Bayesian optimization to enhance LLM-driven program synthesis, incorporating a surrogate model to generate more informative and error-resistant prompts. This approach significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of program synthesis.

Human Recognition utilising Physiological Characteristics

Designed a machine learning model for human identification based on walking and body posture by analyzing 32 human-joint skeletal data points mapped to a 3D point space, enabling accurate recognition based solely on posture and movement patterns.

Unfreeze Memories Augmented Reality Cards

Unfreeze your memories with the power of AR. Cherish all your moments or create new ones. Your photos come alive, based on Augmented Reality photo cards. Photo cards play the videos when the card is scanned.

FBI Hate Crime Data Analysis

Conducted analysis of FBI's annual hate crime dataset to reveal racial hate crime trends by bias criteria, geography, and frequency. Pre-processed over 21,000 entries, reducing processing time by 34%, and visualized trends with Pandas and Matplotlib to enhance interpretation and insights.

Deep learning/AI enabled Physical Therapy/Yoga Assistant Application

Developed an AI-powered Physical Therapy and Yoga Assistant Windows Application using machine learning and deep learning with computer vision to analyze form and posture in real-time. This tool offers personalized guidance and posture correction to help users safely practice exercises at home, reducing the risk of injury.

Identifying-Unmanned-Objects-Trajectory

Developed a multi-object trajectory detection system capable of identifying and tracking object paths within video sequences, even for objects as small as a few pixels. This project leverages advanced computer vision techniques to detect and follow multiple trajectories simultaneously, enabling precise monitoring and analysis of object movement patterns in dynamic scenes.

University Facial Multifactor Authentication System

Built a multifactor authentication system using facial recognition and additional verification methods to enhance campus security. This system combines face recognition with secondary authentication factors, providing a secure, user-friendly solution for identity verification across university systems and facilities.

Steganography Software for Secure Data Concealment
