Latest Projects

• Huffman Encoding with different Priority Queues (JAVA)

  April, 2017

  This project is to develop a program that generates Huffman codes. With evaluating which of the following priority queue structures gives best performance: Binary Heap, 4-way heap, and Pairing Heap. Implemented in Java without use of any standard library container.

• Internet Chat Application (JAVA, TCP/IP & FTP)

  December, 2016

  Internet chat application with a server program and a client program. The server manages a chat group, allowing any number of clients to join the group with a user name at any time. Implemented in Java with the help of Socket Programming and Multi-threading.

• Facebook simulator, its REST API & a Security system (Scala & Akka actors)

  December, 2015

  A simple Social Network implementation & simulation with basic functionalities like create a user, update profile information, adding friends, posting messages and following pages. Implemented in Scala using Spray-Can framework, Akka Actors and secure authentication using private & public key encryption.

• Gossip simulator (Scala & Akka actors)

  October, 2015

  Gossip type algorithms can be used both for group communication and for aggregate computation. The goal of this project is to determine the convergence through a simulator based on actors written in Scala. Experimented them on four network typologies: Full Network, 3D grid, Line and Imperfect 3D grid.

• Email Spam filtering (Python, Sci-kit & Supervised learning)

  March, 2016

  A simple Spam filtering program implemented using three algorithms Naive Bayes Classification algorithm, K Nearest Neighbors algorithm and Support Vector machines. Implemented using Python and tested on the basis of their accuracy, running time and false positive ratio.

• Handwritten Digit Recognition (Python, Keras & Deep Learning)

  November, 2016

  A simple Handwritten digit recognition program implemented using Neural networks. The deep learning model used for this purpose were: multi-layer perception, 1 layer & 2 layer CNN (Convolution Neural Networks) . Implemented in Python using Keras and runs on Theano.
