Academic Projects

Near factorization:
May 12
Prof. Bernard Menezes
IT, IIT Bombay

The project involved factorization of a binary number in the form of p*q +r so that the number of 1s in the original
number is less than the number of 1s in p, q, r put together.

This is important in the field of encryption using Elliptical curves. The above process will decrease the time taken to
encrypt the message.

Proposed the method of multiple factorizations in which r is repeatedly factorized.

Written code in Java to compare between the brute force method and the proposed methods to find p, q and r.
Connect-Four Game:
Apr 12
Prof. Amithaba Sanyal
CSE, HOD, IIT Bombay

Developed a double and single player game in Scheme.

Implemented Artificial Intelligence using Minimax Algorithm.

Design a graphical interface for the game in Scheme.

Written code for validating the moves, displaying the current state of board, deciding the end of the game.
Statistical Analysis of Census Data
March 12-Apr 12
Prof. Milind Sohoni
CSE,IIT Bombay

Analyzed census data of Murbad(rural area in Mumbai) and Ulhasnagar(Urban area in Mumbai).

Done an analysis on general aspects like population, sex ratio, unemployment, literacy and female empowerment.

Correlated these fields and compared different parameters and relations between rural and urban population and
also among different classes of the same population.

Made some important key observations and suggested some remedial measures to improve certain fields and
relations.
Crossword Puzzle:
Oct 11-Nov 11
Prof. D.B.Phatak
CSE, IIT Bombay

Developed an application which can store solved crosswords in a database.

Designed a graphical user interface into which a puzzle is loaded for the user to solve.

Developed a method by which the user can enter the values into the graphical interface using mouse.

The answers given by the user are then compared with those in the database and the differences are shown.

Technical

Genetic Programming:
May 12-July 12
Institute Technical Summer Project 2012

Investigated the efficiency of Genetic Algorithms in stochastic Optimization.

Developed a Java Library with the Genetic Algorithm in-built in it.

Implemented Genetic Algorithms in Real-Valued Function optimization and in Travelling Salesman Problem.

Applied Genetic Algorithms to Game Theory by optimizing the best Strategy for iterated tournaments.
TechOne
