Projects

AI - Image Captioning System

Designed and implemented an end-to-end Deep Learning solution for image captioning, integrating ResNet-50 (for vision) and LSTM with Attention mechanisms (for language) to achieve robust vision-language alignment. Optimized model performance significantly through transfer learning and quantization techniques, successfully reducing inference time to 200ms, crucial for real-time Al solution deployment. Deployed the captioning model as a scalable "As-a-Service" solution using Flask, demonstrating proficiency in model deployment and full-lifecycle project management. (Considered deployment scalability for potential Kubernetes). Applied advanced predictive modelling techniques for dynamic caption generation, improving both accuracy and contextual relevance to support informed decision-making tasks with the generated NLP outputs.

AI Shopping Assistant

Designed and developed a cloud-based NLP assistant that transforms vague product inquiries into actionable search queries using LLMs (Llama 3 via IBM Watsonx) and advanced Machine Learning algorithms for initial prototyping designs. Applied LangChain and IBM Watsonx to implement real-time query interpretation, text analytics for intent handling, and HTML summarization, demonstrating a strong understanding of foundation model application in practical scenarios Integrated third-party APIs (SerpAPI) and maintained structured project repositories using Git or GitHub, making the project available as an open-source reference where applicable. Customized solution workflows based on business requirements, contributing to the improvement of cloud-based Al deployment processes, including iterative testing and refinement of the NLP components.
