Academic Projects

  • 2022
    Robust Supervised contrastive learning
    • Independently executed the implementation of adversarial training coupled with supervised contrastive learning loss using PyTorch. I thoroughly explored diverse approaches within the PyTorch framework, experimenting to enhance the model’s performance and resilience against adversarial attacks.
  • 2022
    multivariate HMM
    • Utilizing my programming abilities, I implemented a range of algorithms for Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) in the multivariate case from scratch, leveraging the capabilities of NumPy. These algorithms encompassed alpha recursion, beta recursion, expectation maximization, and viterbi. Through the application of these algorithms, the project aimed to efficiently model and analyze sequential data with hidden states.
  • 2021
    PSO-SGD Hybrid Optimizer
    • Developed a custom PyTorch optimizer by designing a novel optimization algorithm that combines the strengths of Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO).
  • 2020
    Typicality-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommendation
    • Implemented a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on the paper ”Typicality-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommendation”. Leveraged item typicality and user preference data to generate personalized recommendations. Tested the algorithm on movieLens-latest-small and TagGenome datasets.
  • 2020
    Kohonen Self Organizing Map
    • Implemented Kohonen Self-Organizing Map (SOM) neural network from scratch utilizing NumPy. Implemented key algorithms including winner-takes-all, neighborhood function, and weight update. Designed a framework to facilitate training, visualization, and cluster analysis. Leveraged SOM for unsupervised dimensionality reduction on the YaleFaces dataset. Clustered and visualized high-dimensional face data in 2D space.
