PROJECTS
Face Detection
• Face recognition is a type of biometric software that identifies individuals by their facial features. This software is developed to identify
faces individually or in a group.
• They recognise the facial features of individuals and detect human faces accurately.
• It also counts the number of faces within the scope of the camera view.
• This software can be integrated into a surveillance camera and can be used to detect people stranded during calamities.
Jarvis AI Assistant
• Jarvis AI is a cutting-edge personal assistant designed to streamline your daily tasks and enhance your productivity.
• Powered by advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, Jarvis AI adapts to your preferences and evolves over time to better anticipate
your needs.
Build a recommendation system for products or content
• I developed a personalized recommendation system using collaborative filtering, based on a curated dataset of user preferences and
product information.
• The system included a user-friendly interface, was rigorously evaluated with metrics like precision and recall, and demonstrated high
relevance in suggestions, enhancing user engagement and satisfaction.
Develop an image classification model using a deep learning framework
• I developed an image classification model using the CIFAR-10 dataset and TensorFlow, employing a CNN architecture with convolutional, max-pooling, and fully connected layers for feature extraction and classification.
• After training and fine-tuning the model, it achieved high accuracy, demonstrating the effectiveness of CNNs in real-world image
classification tasks.
