Technology is what drives the world today; figuratively in the form of the numerous business that have been built on technology: Tech Giants are ushering the world into a new era of living and literally through the Self-Driving cars that we all know about. The field of Computer Science has come a long way and its cemented itself as the field with the most growth. Hence it is only logical to be fascinated by the wonder of this realm and the deeper I delve into it, the better it looks.
The aspect of technology that interests me most is its ability to affect our day-to-day lives. It has revolutionized the way we live and given us tools we never knew we needed. Technology will continue to do so in the future with one of its most promising fields: Artificial Intelligence.I have taken to this field very quickly and am beginning to realize its untapped potential. AI has the ability to optimize almost every task that humans do and sometimes do it much better.
Most people read fiction and are enthralled by the literature and linguistics but I was infatuated with AI through the several magazines that are available online. These are the best source of gaining knowledge about the latest developments in the field. Articles from these magazines talk about possibilities I never even dreamed of before getting into AI.
The second year of my B.E. is when I got into Python and AI in the practical sense. The power of Python as a language was addictive, specially since we had only been taught C and Java earlier. Eventually I started with ML. Trying out the more contemporary models before moving on to deep learning.
Some of the projects I have done are:
- AI Pet
- Web Crawling Sentiment Analysis on Stock News
- Breast Cancer Classification
AI Pet
This is my final B.E. project. It is a culmination of IOT, AI and Cloud Computing. We aimed to create a bot which will act as a companion for humans without having the issues of owing a pet. For example: you have to take care of a pet, clean up after it, taking it to the doctor, etc. Most of us don't have the time to do this. The AI Pet is a hassle free way of owing a pet.
Web Crawling Sentiment Analysis on Stock News
The stock market is of great interest to me as I actively trade in stocks. I aimed to create a way to get indications from the news about a particular stock. The programs scrapes data from two websites specifically about the company you have selected. You are then presented with a historical and current chart with "green"(positive) and "red"( negative) lines which show the sentiment
Breast Cancer Classification
This was a project with dealt with the Wisconsin Dataset and attempted to compare Artificial Neural Networks with other models such as Naive Bayes, SVM and KNN. I have also published a paper based on the results of this project.
