Used the concept of triangle similarity to estimate the distance from the person. Trained MobileNet SSD face detector on WIDER FACE Dataset. Sentiment Analysis of Covid-19 Tweets May 2021

• Used Cassandra, Spark, PySpark, Datastrax integration to extract live twitter data using Twitter API. Used data wrangling and manipulated by cleaning & pre-processing unstructured tweets (removed special characters, punctuations, hashtags) Tokenized the sentences, removed stop words, and labelled positive, negative and neutral tweets with the help of NLTK and pattern libraries and extracted Positive and Negative Sentiments based on sentiment scores.

• Also, after labelling the above data, trained a machine learning model to classify positive and negative sentiments using TensorFlow and Keras with an accuracy of greater than 80% and visualized the data in Tableau. Text Summarization May 2021

• Built a GUI and backend with Python, NLTK and Tkinter to summarize a text/paragraph based on user input or a website or a file. Performed stemming, word and sentence tokenization, thresholding based on sentence frequency to generate the summary.
