Projects
| LetMeHelp - Hackathon finalist | An VLLM-powered solution to automatically perform actions on the computer based on the user query. Read more here. |
| IDA — Master's Project (Grade 1.3) | A chat-bot for data-scientists. Co-lead the team of 8 fellow students and also developed visualization and Natural Language Engine. |
| NMT | A project about Neural Machine Translation or Sequence-to-sequence models. All models are written from scratch in order to be easily understood and integrateable in any future work! |
| Project NLP | In this project, I am implementing basic tasks of NLP using statistical, ML and Deep learning techniques!. |
| Search Engine (Final Year Project) | Tried to solve the problem of grouping results of an ambiguous query and how can we advance search engines! Created full fledged web crawler using Python from scratch. In this project, we used ElasticDB to index and store crawled web pages. |
| Kazi | A naive fact checker! which extracts subject, object & predicate from the given sentence and try to validate fact using DBpedia knowledge base. |
