Nanyang technological university

Intern

May 2016Jul 2016 · 2 mos · Singapore

  • Worked under Prof Lam Siew Kei at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore for the summer of 2016. The project aim was to work on a Clustering-Based Approach for Data-Driven Imputation of Missing Traffic Data. During the internship, I studied concepts of Deep Neural Networks and Clustering Algorithms and applied the same to develop a deep learning approach using both k-means clustering and deep stacked denoising autoencoders to estimate the missing data values in road traffic data. This approach gave more than a 10% reduction in root mean square error from the earlier, more common approach of replacing missing values with historical averages.
