EXPERIENCE
University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX – Student Researcher January 2020 – May 2020
● Reformatted dirty data into cleaned “ready to read” data
● Stemmed and took out stop words from data for vectorization prepping
● Created two vectorized data sets, one using Word2Vec and the other using Count Vectorization
● Applied SVM, MLP learning methods onto the vectorized data resulting In an above 95% accuracy
SignaPay – Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Capstone January 2020 – May 2020
● Used the Keras functional API in TensorFlow to create a model following a ResNet model structure
● Wrote and implemented custom CTC loss function for the model
● Created custom metrices to calculate character and word error rates as well as average distances of predicted against true values
● Model predicted handwritten characters with above 95% accuracy and Handwritten words with above 85% accuracy
CIFAR10 CNN Identification Project Using TensorFlow August 2019 – December 2019
● Created a CNN to identify CIFAR10 images with above 60% accuracy
● Attached a Pretrained CNN to further increase the image identification accuracy to above 90% accuracy
● Wrote IEEE paper exploring the advantages of adding a pretrained network on an existing CNN
MNIST CNN Identification Project Using PyTorch
August 2019 – December 2019
● Randomly sampled 100 of each digit from MNIST data set to create random train and test splits
● Created simple model involving convolutional layers followed by a softmax using PyTorch
● Tested the model using AdaBoosting with decision trees and logistic regression resulting in an above 80% accuracy
