Projects

THE DISEASE PREDICTION SYSTEM BASED ON SYMPTOM IDENTIFICATION AND IMAGE PROCESSING, HTML, CSS, DJANGO, DENSENET-121, CNN, MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS, NLP, Identified the need for early diagnosis of the disease and developed a user-friendly system. Integration of machine learning algorithms like Random-forest, Decision tree, XGBoost, LSTM, Logistic regression and Naive bayes for symptom-based prediction. Allows to upload the pictures of skin diseases along with X-RAY’s and MRI for image prediction and processed by using DenseNet-121 model. 

BEYOU: HYPER-PERSONALISED SOLUTION FOR BUSINESS MODEL, REACT.JS, PYTHON, KNN, STREAMLIT, To digitize the buying cycle of a retail shop, a model is constructed by analysing the buyer’s preferences through a survey and plotted various pain points of the consumer for effective recommendation of the product to retain loyal customers. KNN algorithm is employed and the ML algorithm is fed to StreamLit to get appropriate suggestions according to the preferences of the buyer. Added features for customers to get notified about the updates by subscribing the newsletter. 

CAREER PATH NAVIGATOR, REACT.JS, FLASK, AXIOS, BAGGING, API, Discovered the need to guide students in making informed career decisions. Leveraged the unique machine learning techniques known as bagging to assimilate the dataset provide. The Flask backend will expose RESTful API’s to facilitate communication between frontend and backend allowing the users to view and explore potential career options. 

FITNESS MOBILE APP, ANDROID STUDIO, JAVA, FLASK, PYTORCH MOBILE, FIREBASE, CLOUD, The application utilizes java for user friendly interface and backend is powered by Flask. Firebase is employed for its real-time database capabilities, providing reliable storage solutions. Features are driven by PyTorch Mobile model where the model is trained and converted to TorchScript for mobile deployment. Azure services are integrated to enhance the app’s capabilities.
