Term Projects and Internships

2019 - 2020: Automatic Identification of Crimes in Indian Legal Documents

[Developing a DL model to identify the possible crimes given the evidences of a legal case in India, comparing with standard baselines and state-of-the-art methods, improving performance significantly across models by also identifying crimes at the sentence level on a small, manually annotated dataset] [M.Tech Project]

2017 - 2018: Musical Instrument Identification from Audio

[Extracting features from audio such as pitch and MFCC, employing shallow models and CNNs for featurizing scalar data, and MFCC graphs respectively, to identify the most predominant musical instrument at every time frame] [B.Tech Project]

2016 - 2017: Analyzing Movie Recommendation Networks

[Crawling data from movie recommendation platforms such as IMDb, Google Play Movies, performing rudimentary analysis using data like genre distribution, popularity ratings; and also more efficient analysis techniques such as graph-based approaches like random walk to discover relationships between movie attributes (common cast, director, genre(s), recommendations)] [Winter and Summer (extended) Project]
