Geo-Spacial Analysis with DigitalGlobe |
|
Trained an image segmentation U-net to map out flooded areas in a newly released Hurricane Harvey dataset from DigitalGlobe, in collaboration with DigitalGlobe data scientists. Designed a semi-supervised process to generate pixel-level image labels from a course map of possible flooding locations .
Mapping of Character Interactions using NLP |
|
Used Natural Language Processing techniques, including NLTK, parsing, word2vec, clustering, and sentiment analysis to generate a pipeline to identify primary characters in a novel or series of novels, characterize the characters and/or relationships between them, and map out the frequency of interaction and progression over time. Data was visualized using several interactive D3.js applications.
Classification of Gestures from SmartWatch Accelerometer Data |
|
Used snippets of smartwatch accelerometer data to identify one of 20 gestures. This required generating all features from the accelerometer data. Achieved 98% recognition accuracy on the dataset using both individual and ensemble models, if permitted to train on some of a user's previous actions; and 88% accuracy for users the system has never seen before.
