PROJECTS

Predicting House Prices in Ames, Iowa (08/2018 – 09/2018) Goal: Build a model to predict the sale prices of residential homes in Ames, Iowa based on features of the homes.

Used correlation plots and visualizations to examine relationships among different features and homes' sales prices.

Trained and tuned Ridge, Lasso, Elastic net, XGBoost, and Ensemble regression models to find the best performing model. Compared the models' prediction accuracy and found that the Ensemble model achieved the best results.

Tools: Python

What's Cooking? - Recipe Cuisine Prediction

(06/2018 – 08/2018)

Goal: Build a classification model to categorize recipes into cuisines based on the ingredients.

Used TF-IDF to extract and generalize features from list of ingredients. Trained and tuned Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machine models to find the best performing classification model. Compared the models' categorization accuracy and classification reports and found that the Support Vector Machine model yielded the best categorizing results.

Tools: Python

MNIST - Digit Recognizer (05/2018 – 06/2018)

Goal: Build a classification model to classify handwritten digits from the MNIST dataset.

Used convolutional neural networks and artificial neural network to build classification models.
