Creations

A collection of projects authored by Aarthi, and likely shared out with the community as an open source project.

Breast Cancer Risk Prediction

Using a labelled data set (Wisconsin breast cancer diagnostic data) of cancer patients and the various attributes of a cell such as radius, texture, area, perimeter etc, a model was trained to predict the possibility of a cell being cancerous using Logistic Regression and K-fold cross validation.

Pedestrian-Vehicle Interaction detection

Real-time surveillance video from traffic cameras was taken as an input, and was split into frames. An algorithm was designed to extract HOG and GLCM features from the images and classify using Multi-Class Support Vector Machines and Parallel Algorithms. This trained model was used to detect pedestrian-vehicle interaction.

Experience

Research Assistant

Records and Information Management Services, University of Illinois

Formulated algorithms to perform textual analysis on a large dataset of emails and to obscure Personally Identifiable Information in the dataset. Exported the manually trained (tagged as public or restricted) items from one tool to another using VLOOKUP based on date and time as the key to match the document id across two tools to save time from manually training the tool and tagging again. Analyzed and evaluated multiple text analysis tools like Advance eDiscovery, ePADD, Recommind which use Machine Learning and predictive analysis for detecting sensitive data.
