Detecting Context Misinformation In Text And Images

Verification of any information found online needs to be done to avoid the aftermath occurring after believing online news which are fake. Thus a machine learning model is created to analyse such news in relation to image contexts and classify them to the various levels of misclassification.

Experience

2023 - 2023

Machine Learning intern at STMicroelectronics

Collected data for hand gesture recognition using the Time of Flight (TOF) sensor and cleaned data to remove erroneous data points. Built a convolution neural network for the classification of hand gestures. Used Optuna for Bayesian hyper-parameter searching for fine-tuning of the CNN thereby giving an accuracy of 96%. Employed techniques such as L1, L2 regularization and Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC) to retain acquired learnings and reduce catastrophic forgetting due to concept drift when updating (incrementing) the model.


2021-2021

Python Development Intern at DataFlair

Coded projects in python using best software practises and proper documentation to support beginners with learning python. Employed effective usage of various data structures and object oriented programming concepts in python for the user to obtain thorough understanding of all underlying concepts. Advanced concepts coded and documented include machine learning, data engineering with Airflow and data analysis.


2020-2020

Software Developer Intern at EarthWorm Ventures

Designed and developed e-commerce website using Angular using best software development practises. Added voice based navigation for navigating and placing orders in the website. Implemented Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and incorporated a DialogFlow chatbot to provide customer support. Further utilized DeepPavlov to improve the customer support chatbot experience. Created deepfakes using image processing techniques to provide product description and introduce voice based ordering to customers.


2019-2019

Data Science and Analytics intern at Takenmind Technologies

Collected employee data and cleaned the data to obtain more factual information. Analysed the data using Pandas and NumPy to determine the cause of employee resignation from the company. Visualized the obtained findings using Seaborn and MatPlotlib to create graphs and report the derived insights. Provided recommended solutions to improve employee retention to the leadership team.
