I am a learner who is still learning and exploring different technologies out there. But if to pick one out of them I feel I am good at Machine learning as mentioned I am a curious learner wants to gain knowledge about every new stuff and knowing that it’s an endless sea of knowledge to go out and learn and improve myself become a better person and having something in mind to learn something new every day because a day without learning something new feels wasted this particular fact is what drives me.

I have worked on several projects related to data analytics using python platform which used the algorithms of machine learning, deep learning etc. even have worked on a web development project which involved html, CSS and JavaScript combining those even storing data in local storage.
But the most complex project I worked on was twitter sentimental analysis which could have been solved by easier method but would have given less accuracy, so I used a concept called RNN(Recurrent Neural Networks) as tweets are human written sentences which contain a lot of sarcasm, irony and stuff which a machine cannot understand without understanding the human tone what RNN does is it uses backpropagation method to takes the back context of the sentence and understanding the tone of the tweet it analysis further into positive, negative and neutral categories, so the main problem I faced where of vanishing gradients and exploding gradients which I am still working on it as it became hard to train the data on my GPU.
I really learnt a lot not only the concepts of neural networks, NLP(natural language processing), machine learning but even to remain calm, patient and keep trying which is must during the face when I get stuck with some serious problems I need to stay positive and think positive about it that yes I can do it if not today tomorrow and of course with these problems, I researched more about it learnt new concepts and got to know how I could optimize the code in a better way.

I see this hackathon as a golden opportunity coming to me having prior experience of few hackathons which were a great learning step although I couldn't win it but knowledge and experience is what matters, so I want to be one of them who just want to seize the opportunity to its hundred per cent and I want to dedicate myself into it learn most out of it and be proudly one of them who can proudly say this hackathon actually changed my life and the way of thinking, I really hope a person who has ambition and passion towards this event could get this golden opportunity from your prestigious institute.
