M.Tech Project I
IIT Madras
{ Automatic pattern/rule extraction with minimal supervision.
{ Bootstrap with small number of seed examples of connected pairs.
{ I got 93% recall and 81% precision based on the available ground truth.
A Link-Parser based approach for extracting entitiy pairs having connectivity relation in text.
M.Tech. Project II

Jul 2015 - Present

IIT Madras

{ By Analyzing Link Parser result, I design some heuristic rules to identify the connected brain regions of mouse in the White Text
Corpus.
{ I got 82% recall and 63% precision based on the available ground truth
Early Disaster Warning Evacuation System on Mobile Phones Using Google Street Map.
B.E Project

Oct - Apr 2014

IIT Madras

{ Early disaster warnings and Evacuation guidelines are provided to each registered user if he found in the danger area.
{ We can manually update the information on the server.
{ Google Cloud to Device Messaging(C2DM) service is used to send notification to the user.

{

Sep - Oct 2014

IIT Madras

Decision of expansion of input query are taken based on the features of the input query.
Input query is expanded to fetch the more relevant search results.
User Query log(AOL dataset) is used to find the correlation of documents words with the query words.
Document words are used to expand the input user squery.

Spell Checker using the surrounding context

Natural Language Processing

Sep - Oct 2014

IIT Madras

{ n-gram model and Edit distance is used to find the candidate suggestions.
{ Bayes rule is used to rank the suggestions.
{ Context words surrounding the incorrect word are used as a features.
Indexing based on Usage in Information Retrieval
Memory Based Reasoning in AI

Mar - May 2015

IIT Madras

{ Textual Case-based reasoning(similar problem have similar solution) is used to change the structure of document.
{ Each document is divided into problem part and solution part.
{ Query log is used to form the problem component of the document and and Explicit Semantic Analysis is used to enhance it.
{ More Weightage is given to the problem component of the document while comparing the similarity with the user input query.
