Projects:

1.SMS Spam Classification using Machine Learning Algorithms. Sept 2016-Dec 2016

Three different machine learning algorithms were used to classify SMS messages as spam or ham. The SMS spam collection used was a public set of 5574 labeled SMS messages that have been collected for mobile spam research. The machine learning algorithms used were logistic regression, neural networks and SVM algorithms to classify SMS. The coding was done in Matlab. Neural networks achieved the best accuracy and other metrics. Since the dataset had unstructured text messages, text was processed and features were extracted and used for algorithms. Link

2.Classification of Amazon fine food reviews using spark on AWS. Sept 2017-May2018

Amazon fine food reviews were analyzed and classified using logistic regression and decision tree classifier models. The dataset had 568k reviews comprising of 10 columns. Models were implemented using Apache spark(SCALA) on AWS. The results were compared and presented the findings. Also analyzed how preprocessing could greatly impact the results. Data preprocessing was done using countVectorizer for feature extraction while PCA was used for feature reduction. Spark mlLib was used to run machine learning algorithms.

Tools and Technologies used: Scala, Apache Spark(mlLib), AWS-EMR. Link

3.Airport finder app Jan 2018-May2018

This is a web based application to find airports and filter them based on state in united states. To build the web app front end, HTML, CSS, JavaScript was used. The data was stored on backend using No SQL database Mongo DB.

Technologies used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MongoDB.
