I am\ninterested in computer vision and machine learning.\n\nMajor Projects\nImproving Performance with MKL in SVMs\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nDr. Manik Varma, MSR India\nDr. Prateek Jain, MSR India\nSummer Internship and B.Tech Project\nMay 2010 - Present\nSupport Vector Machines learn linear classifiers from labelled training data to predict labels for previously unseen test data. Kernels with SVM\xe2\x80\x99s allow to learn non linear classifiers, and hence lead to much\nhigher classification accuracies in practice. We are learning non linear kernel combinations to give\nus even better classification accuracies and are seeing a possibility of a significant performance increase.\nAlso, looking at new regularizers (which take into account the model complexity) for use in the MKL\nobjective. Working towards submitting this to one of ICML, NIPS or ECCV.\nUnsupervised Video Surveillance\nProf. Subhashis Banerjee, CSE, IITD\nStudent Undergraduate Research Award (SURA - 2009)\nMay 2009 - October 2009\nThis project involved the development of a novel technique to detect unusual activities in videos in an\nunsupervised manner. We used pLSA with an appropriate choice for features on video clips to obtain\nclustering of similar videos, and any new activity different from the ones learnt was flagged as unusual.\nWe also extended the idea to multi person unusual activity detection.\n\nOther Projects\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nCaptcha Reader\nProf. Prem Kalra\nDigital Image Analysis Course Project\nNovember 2010\nI made a simple captcha reader to read the captcha in use for the institute web mail. It involved letter\nsegmentation and training in a semi supervised manner using a KNN classifier.\nUsing Structural Information for Object Recognition\nProf. Subhashis Banerjee\nComputer Vision Course Project\nApril 2010\nI investigated various feature vectors and techniques and frameworks for incorporating structural information in object recognition tasks.\nNon Photo-realistic Rendering\nProf. Prem Kalra\nDigital Image Analysis Course Project\nSeptember 2010\nImplemented color quantization, dithering, image segmentation and edge enhancement (by edge linking,\ndifferential thickening and smoothing) to give a painterly look to photo-realistic images.\nKnowledge Management\nProf. Subhashis Banerjee\nIndependent Project\nJanuary 2010 - October 2010\nConceptualized new web 2.0 based IT services such as Interest Group Discussion Forums, Campus\n\n\x0cWiki, Project Database to allow easier collaboration, better information organization and formalizing\nundocumented technical know how. Designed intuitive user interfaces and work-flows for these services\nand customized existing open source drupal and foswiki project (by adding kerberos authentication,\nLDAP integration), to finally deploy these services in the institute.\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nFunny Cell\nAssistant Prof. Aaditeshwar Seth\nComputer Networks Course Project\nMarch 2010 - April 2010\nThis project was based on a molecule based inter-cell communication simulator designed by our professor.\nWe designed and analyzed robust communication protocols for inter cell molecular communication among\nantibody cells in a loss full unreliable medium. Also designed combat strategies against infection cells.\n\nScholastic Achievements\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Institute Rank 1: Consistently maintaining institute rank 1 among 450 students over the last 3 years\nat IIT Delhi.
