KEY PROJECTS:
Driver Score Algorithm for Pay as You Drive model and
Usage based insurance
K-Nearest Neighbour , SQL , Numpy

Applying machine learning solution on automotive datasets. The Data come from the car’s
attached peripheral device called OBD-II.

In this project , client has provided data sets which contained the users trip data which
consists of Cars dashboard data , weather data as well as maps data.Project required to
read bulk data from network path defined in configuration. We have developed a scheduler
which runs every hour and read files from network, these files are passed in model to pre-
dict the output. Output are saved in two formats, one in flat file and second is in database,
which can be used to generate reports.

Challenge was to develop an Algorithm that can provide a driver score to insurance com-
pany to identify the driver is Driving safe or not. We have applied regression and clustering
techniques for achieving best results. As a result we have developed technique that can
identify the safe drive and unsafe drive .

Responsibilities:

 Requirement gathering from the Business Team.

 Data Analysis
 Developing Hypothesis and techniques for best fit score
 Client Communication

 Validation of Driver scores

 Deployment
 Optimization & Algorithm Development
 Weekly meeting.
 Working with Clients team for Deployment and Testing

Artificial Intelligent Chatbot

IBM Watson
Chat-bot for Gynecologic disease identification Watson Analytics , Basic details are
provided in a chart by client , from chart our responsibility to convert it in a chat-
bot sequence and applying machine learning techniques on it. Developing Intent ,
Entities and dialogues for given data. Data manipulation user inputs and testing.

Responsibilities:
 Gathering data and requirements
 Architecture for Continuous integration
 Model validation/Deployment.
 API integration with Python

Text mining
NLTK, Spacy, Flask

Project was aimed to maximum use of NLP for Legal Domain .

The Legal firm wanted their some of cases wants to be summarized in a certain
way that they can get the idea of cases easily , we have used advanced text min-
ing algorithms to identify search intent latent in individual Keywords, Employed
Principle Component Analysis to analyze collinearity and reduce the dimensionality
of data-sets.Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) to combine individual keyword-level
models.

Responsibilities:

 Requirement gathering from the Business Team.

Recommendation
Collaborative Filtering

Real estate firm wants property recommendation to dealers. Client has large num-
ber of property data and wanted recommendation system to their dealers. Data is
sparse, so It suffer from scalability issue which is solved using cluster approach
and new listed property doesn’t get much attention which is cold start problem
and solved by designing hybrid similarity approach.

Responsibilities:

 Requirement gathering from the Business Team.

 Matrix Generation from raw data.
 Identify and solved cold-start problem
 Solved sparse data issue using clustering approach.
 Implemented and Designed different similarity algorithm and recommendation.
 Model validation/Deployment.

parts for user specifically , by car age , milage , travel time and looking at the oth-
er factors . We have used PMML (Predictive Modeling markup language ) for devel-
oping machine learning solution with Pentaho.

We have used ELK (Elastic Search , Log Tash, Kibanna) stack for Real time data
analysis , full text search , for routing log data and visualizing log data.

Client wanted to convert their library books into digital format to save it for
future.The challenge was to identify correct writings with a high accuracy of nearly
99%. As a projectile, we need more images to form the deep learning model
generated by the image enhancement technique. In a second step, read the image
using Open CV and apply the learning transfer to develop the model.As a result,
our image classification model obtained a satisfactory default image classification
with a Type 2 error of zero.
