Guidance: Professor T.V. Prabhakar (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur, India)
ICDM 2008 Challenge Problem (January-April 2010)
Course project: Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery; group of two
The project involved deciding whether a nuclear explosion has taken place by using monitoring station based
data.
- Studied various learning techniques so as to design a classi er which could classify ICDM2008 data set
e ciently
- Proposed a classi cation which involved preprocessing of data sets by Synthetic Minority Oversampling
TEchnique(SMOTE) and classifying the generated dataset by adaboosting with Decision Trees as base
classi er
Guidance: Professor Harish Karnick (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur, India)
Network Sni er (October-November 2009)
Course project in CS425: Computer Networks; group of three
- Built a packet analyzer from scratch using the libpcap library, which can catch data packets from the
link-layer, network-layer and transport-layer
- Implemented options for the user such as giving a raw dump of data or printing the payload in ASCII/hex
format, thus capturing text, chats or mails on the internet
- Further extended to detect MAC spoo ng on a network
Guidance: Mr Navpreet Singh (Principle Computer Engineer, Computer Center, IIT Kanpur)
Summer Internship in Machine Learning (May-June 2009)
- Studied Decision Trees, Convex Optimization, Support Vector Machines
- Implemented Decision Trees on Scilab and tested with standard datasets like Heart dataset
Guidance: Professor Harish Karnick (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur)
Simulation & analysis of various features of operating systems (August-October 2009)
Course project in CS330: Operating Systems; group of two
- Implemented scheduling of threads, handling of page faults and simulated system calls, all to the basic
framework of NACHOS
- Simulated and evaluated page replacement algorithms for memory management and a fully associative TLB
using C language
- Implemented and analyzed performance of di erent mutual exclusion algorithms
