• Functional Approximation based Distributed Learning Algorithm
• supervised by Dr. Dhruv Mahajan, Applied Sciences.
• Studied Gradient Descent Algorithms like TRON, SVRG, L-BFGS used for Convex Optimization
• and their implementation in All-Reduce framework according to the Statistical Query Model.
• Worked on a new Algorithm that approximates the Convex Objective Function, uses it for local optimization in different nodes and reduces the Communication Cost for Convex Optimization.
• Comprehensive Evaluation of the Algorithm was conducted in which our algorithm outperformed all other State-of-the-Art algorithms on 5 out of the 6 High-Dimensional Datasets considered.

• Smart Applications (Mobile Applications using Artificial Intelligence)
• Smart Dialer - Worked on a Naive Bayes Classifier which would take Call Logs of a person for training and later use it to suggest possible people owner might call at a particular time.
• It yielded an accuracy of approximately 61.1 % using a corpus of old call logs.
• Algorithm implemented as an application for Android based Smart Phones.
• Smart SMS - Cloud-based Android Application which acts as an automated expense manager keeping track of the transactions made electronically by the user, by reading SMS in the phone using Natural Language Processing and mails the user a monthly Expense Sheet.
