the topic. The project can be extended to an identification system (find the difference between
the two!)
Tech Stack:​ Language: Python; Libraries: Keras, TensorFlow, Matplotlib, pandas,
numpy, sklearn, any other;

3. Comparison of Different CNN Transfer Learning Architectures

Description:​ Pick a medium sized classification dataset. Train different CNN
architectures (VGGNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet, SENet etc) and compare them on accuracy or
other metrics. You could use pre-trained weights wherever applicable. Try to implement the
training on a cloud platform, and use TensorBoard to see interactive training results and better
understand the architectures. You are also expected to have a basic understanding of the used
architectures.

Project for 3rd Year:​ Eye gaze estimation based recommendation system
Description: ​Standard recommendation systems often work on the basis of user interest
visible through click rate, explicit ratings etc. But online content that holds a users interest can
be easily identified based on their eye gaze i.e for how long that element, for eg. an
advertisement, held their interest. This information can be used as feedback for further
recommendations. This project shall thus involve three parts: Developing a real time eye gaze
estimator, creating a recommendation system and fine tuning it for such implicit feedback,
combining these modules using a seamless application.
If time permits, we can explore deployment too.
Tech Stack:​ Languages and libraries usable (choose the ones suitable and necessary):
Python, C++, OpenCV, sklearn, Tensorflow, PyTorch, Keras, Flask, PyQt;
