Research & Applied Projects
Machine learning, NLP, and computer vision projects built across research and industry contexts.
Hybrid RNN-Transformer Efficiency Optimization
Developing a hybrid RNN–Transformer model for low-resource language modeling, optimizing parameter use, memory footprint, and inference latency without sacrificing accuracy.
IDRiD-VQA: Explainable Diabetic Retinopathy Grading with a 2B VLM
Fine-tuned Qwen2-VL-2B with 4-bit QLoRA (Unsloth) on the IDRiD dataset to grade diabetic retinopathy (0–4) and generate structured clinical explanations — trained end-to-end on a single 6 GB consumer GPU in ~90 minutes. Lifts grading accuracy from 31.1% to 66.0% and QWK from 0.00 to 0.76 (substantial agreement), with a 2,064-pair clinically grounded VQA dataset, offline Gradio demo, and an ACL-format paper. Model and dataset released on Hugging Face.
Fake News Detection — Reproducible NLP Pipeline
End-to-end fake-news text classifier: cleaning, TF-IDF features, and a model bake-off that selects a Passive-Aggressive classifier reaching 0.99 F1 / 0.9995 AUC on a held-out test set. Fully reproducible (single seed, deterministic solvers), unit-tested with GitHub Actions CI, a ready-to-deploy Gradio demo, and an honest write-up on source-leakage and why the model learns writing style — not facts.
Transformer-Based Automated Subjective Answer Evaluation
AI-powered grading system using BERT and SBERT for semantic scoring of descriptive answers. Integrates OCR for handwritten text extraction and reduces manual evaluation time by over 70%. Built under Dr. Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay (REC Kannauj).
Bikers' Safety & Hazard Detection
AI-driven system to detect road hazards, lane deviations, and obstacles for biker safety using deep learning and computer vision.
Multi-Label Classification for Mental Health Detection
BERT-based multi-label classifier that detects mental health disorders like anxiety and depression from user posts using attention mechanisms.
AI Tool for Data & Web Insights
LLM-powered tool that processes datasets, performs intelligent web searches, and extracts user-defined information through a clean interface.
Autonomous Vehicle Driving Safety System
Safety system using YOLOv8 for vehicle detection, speed estimation, and collision risk prediction with real-time alerts.
Face Recognition System
CNN-based face recognition model using OpenCV and FaceNet embeddings for accurate identity verification.
