Developed a 5-layer stacked classifier model of Adaptive Boosting classifiers trained on a 60000 image dataset
Benchmarked the performance of Adaboost, Support Vector Machines and Random Forest models
Successfully achieved a classification accuracy of 96%, making the system practically applicable
Statistical Machine Learning techniques for Gene Regulatory Network Inference, Genome Institute of
Singapore (May, 2015 - July, 2015) :
Designed statistical machine learning algorithms to infer gene networks from single cell RNA sequencing data
Designed techniques to denoise the data aimed at improving inference accuracy of the network discovery algorithm

PROJECTS

Data Analytics for NGO Indus Action (Feb, 2015 - Apr, 2015) :
Developed a software application in R to query the database and create intuitive multi-dimensional visualizations
Generated valuable insights from a large unstructured database of school applicants and demographic information
Facilitated the development of data-driven strategies for upcoming campaigns for the organization
Diabetic Retinopathy detection with Convolutional Neural Networks (Mar, 2015 - July, 2015) :
Built deep learning models to identify diabetic retinopathy from high quality retina images automatically
Trained an ensemble of convolutional neural networks on a 100Gb dataset using an AWS GPU node
Achieved a classification accuracy of 70.23%, matching the state-of-the-art without handcrafted features
Wind Ramp Event Classification from time series wind power data (July, 2015 - Present) :
Applied a parallelized Python implementation of GBRT model to predict wind ramp events from wind power data
Benchmarked the model against Support Vector Machines, Random Forests , Multi Layer Perceptron models
Achieved a mean F1 score of 77.76% for the rare ramp events, making the system practically applicable
Software Development Engineer at Hiperware Inc (Oct, 2014 - Present) :
Created a math problem database for an iPad application using a proprietary Python package
