Guided Project: Finding Heavy Traffic Indicators on I-94

This project was about analysing a dataset about the westbound traffic on the I-94 Interstate highway and goal of analysis was to determine a few indicators of heavy traffic on I-94 which could be weather type, time of the day, time of the week, etc. My analysis concluded summer months, business days and 7AM or 4PM hours indicated very high traffic volume while winter months, weekends, normal hours were low on traffic and two weather conditions light rain and snow and clear sky also indicated moderately high traffic. I used exploratory data analysis and visualization to work through this analysis.



Guided Project: Exploring Hacker News Posts

I worked with Hacker News Posts Dataset to determine the questions like: Do Ask HN or Show HN receive more comments on average? Do posts created at a certain time receive more comments on average? I worked on preparing dataset, cleaning it, sorting using python strings, date and time library. I concluded with 3 PM as being best time to create posts since, posts at 3 PM receive highest number of comments on an average. I learnt to prepare and work with dataset and questions using python language.


Guided Project: Storytelling Data Visualization on Exchange Rates

Analysed how the euro-dollar rate has changed during the coronavirus pandemic by using side by side line plot and showing the 2020 data and keeping the 2016-2019 data as a baseline.

ML Foundations Course by Great Learning- Notes

In this blog, I am going to post my notes, assignments etc that I did during my course on ML Foundations by Great Learning. ML Maths Basics Topics Covered Line Concept Line, Planes and Hyper planes Vector Algebra-magnitude and dimension Vector Algebra-vector operations Dot Product Matrix Algebra Functions Maxima and Minima of Functions Chain Rule Maxima and Minima Applications in ML Gradient Descent using Partial Derivatives Intro to AI and ML AI-computer program that does something smart or makes smart decisions When computer program learns about the world from data we call it ML. We assume past is a good representation of future. Model building from data take data as input find patterns in data summarise the pattern in a mathematically precise way Machine Learning automates this model building. If data is without noise then finding a pattern is easy but unfortunately data contains both data and noise.  Noise is unstructured and random. It does not repeat itself. ML does not assum...

Password Store App in C

A simple password storage type application developed using C language. Users can register and then login using their account. Password, Website name, Email Id can be stored for different accounts. It has a menu based interface to perform user operations like addition, modification, deletion and others. Users need to remember just one password, using which he can access many others of different accounts. Also many users can use same app. Data of each user will created and stored in different .DAT files which will be created when user registers first time. Structures, file handling, pointers etc are used. Code Link

OCR Image Text Detection and Image Manipulation Project

Developed as a course project, the main goal behind this project was to test ability to learn and use python libraries , use openCV to detect faces, tesseract to do optical character recognition and ability to use PIL to composite images together into contact sheets.  Task was to write python code which allows one to search through the images looking for occurrences of keywords and faces, to perform text detection on newspaper images data and  r eturn a contact sheet of all the faces which were located on the newspaper page which mentions that text . I divided whole task into subtasks into functions like, get files, binarise, to check is string is found, to chow faces, to show sheet,  building contact sheet and used libraries to achieve each task, like for images used PIL, cv2, etc
