I developed a dynamic weather forecasting application using Streamlit, integrating real-time weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API. Leveraging prompt engineering techniques, I enhanced the application's functionality by generating context for large language models (LLMs) and dynamically requesting responses with placeholders for dynamic data. Additionally, I implemented and evaluated the performance of two different LLMs, TextBison and Gemini-Pro, for processing weather data, providing insights into their accuracy and effectiveness for weather forecasting tasks.
I tackled the challenge of cybersecurity by integrating and analyzing the MQTT Kaggle Dataset, consolidating it into a unified Postgres Database table. Employing advanced feature engineering techniques with PySpark and PyTorch/TensorFlow, I cleaned and enhanced the data to prepare it for machine learning model deployment. Subsequently, I constructed and fine-tuned multiple machine learning models, including Linear Regression and Random Forest Classifier, utilizing hyperparameter tuning to optimize predictive accuracy for cyber-attacks detection and categorization. Additionally, I gained expertise in Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) methodologies, streamlining the project's development and deployment processes for enhanced efficiency and scalability.
Activity Tracker Research at CERLAB
I delved into the realm of real-time 3D pose estimation, addressing challenges such as occlusion-induced inaccuracies. Drawing inspiration from an ICRA paper, I adapted a diffusion-based approach to explore industry-relevant solutions. Currently, I am pioneering a novel methodology by isolating and training this diffusion-based approach specifically on the H3.6M dataset, with a focus on specialized testing. Through this endeavor, I aim to develop cutting-edge techniques that enhance the accuracy and robustness of real-time 3D pose estimation systems, thereby contributing to advancements in computer vision and related fields.
