APARNA RAJENDRAN Alappuzha, Kerala• - •-https://www.linkedin.com/in/aparna-rajendran-613a15257 SUMMARY Aspiring and motivated MCA graduate with a strong foundation in software development, machine learning, and deep learning. Proficient in Python, Java, SQL, Android, and experienced with NLP and LLM-based projects. Currently working as a Research Assistant at Amrita CREATE, contributing to AI/ML solution development using TensorFlow and PyTorch. Skilled in data preprocessing, model tuning, feature engineering, and deploying ML models via REST APIs and CI/CD pipelines. Adept at project management, team collaboration, and translating real-world problems into scalable, impactful AI solutions. Seeking an entry-level role as a Software Developer, Data Analyst, or Research Scientist. WORK EXPERIENCE Research Assistant Dec 2024 - Present Gather, clean, and prepare datasets for analysis. Build and train machine learning models using various algorithms. Test models for accuracy and performance; analyze results using relevant metrics. Stay updated on new techniques and implement findings from recent papers. Document research processes and results. Utilized NLP techniques, LLMs, and various APIs to generate multiple projects. PROJECTS Summarizing and Recommending YouTube Videos for Education Using AI: Develop a tool that extracts transcripts from YouTube videos by first converting the video to audio and then transcribing the audio using the Whisper model. The tool subsequently generates a summary of the video content using Gemini Pro, evaluates the relevance of the summary, and recommends the YouTube video based on its relevance. A relevance check is performed using a zero-shot classification pipeline to provide recommendations based on comments about the video content. The performance of the tool is compared to various classification methods, demonstrating that zero-shot classification achieves superior results. This tool offers a quick and efficient way to summarize YouTube videos, analyze their relevance to content, and provide recommendations. Extracting Triplets from domain-specific Texts Using Fine-Tuned LLaMA Models: Conducted advanced research on using Large Language Models (LLM), specifically finetuned LLaMA models, to extract subject-predicate-object triplets from domain-specific texts. Dependency parsing was employed to extract triplets from this dataset. These extracted triplets were then us ed for supervised fine-tuning of the LLaMA model. Attendance App: Developed an Android-based attendance management application to track and record attendance in educational institutions or workplaces. SKILLS Technical Skills: Python, Java, SQL, Power BI, PLSQL, Android, NLP, Microsoft Tools, C, C++, SDLC Concepts, Prompt Engineering.
