• Personalized Telugu-English Chatbot: Fine-Tuning DialoGPT for Hybrid Conversations Developed a TeluguEnglish chatbot using DialoGPT, fine-tuned on a custom dataset for context-aware, bilingual conversations. The chatbot leverages custom tokenization to preserve Telugu phrases in English, ensuring accurate responses. Deployed with a Streamlit frontend and Flask API.
•MedQuAD Chatbot for Medical Question Answering Created an AI-powered chatbot using the MedQuAD dataset to answer medical questions accurately and conversationally. Fine-tuned the DialoGPT model and built a dynamic web interface with Streamlit for seamless user interaction.
• Object Detection System Using YOLOv7 for Real-time CCTV Monitoring Developed a real-time object detection system using YOLOv7 to detect specific objects. Stored detected objects and metadata in a structured JSON file for further analysis.
• Self-Supervised Learning with U-Net Masked Autoencoders and EfficientNet B7 for Improved VCE Classification Developed a self-supervised AI model combining U-Net-based masked autoencoders and EfficientNet B7 to classify gastrointestinal abnormalities in Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE) video frames.
