  • User retention optimisation engine :
  • Enhanced user retention by 16% on an average, leading to 2X DAU numbers for the gaming app client, policy promotion optimization for banking client
  • Data analysis and pre-processing insights extraction around pandas (dataframe)
  • Implementation of Random Forest Algorithm to determine features/insights ranking and corroborate finding b/w 2 approaches
  • Image Processing
  • Deep Learning (Artificial Neural Networks)
  • Classification of home appliances using Neural Network
  • Trained a model from scratch for classification of home appliances such as microwave, refrigerator, digital camera, phone/tablet, computer/laptop, keyboard, printer, speaker etc.
  • Age and Gender Classification model training and compressing from scratch
  • Gender and Age classification model creation using neural network (deep learning) from scratch
  • Compression of Neural Network model for porting to small devices
  • Neural Network classification models are usually of order of 50-500 MBs, using pruning of weights and further clustering weights in chunks, model size was reduced to order of ~600 KBs without losing accuracy of the classification
  • Image Quality for classification of Blurred Images
  • Used Pre-trained Alexnet architecture to extract features from penultimate layer ( before Softmax layer) and subsequently trained these features on different kernels of SVM to get optimum results
  • Improved performance by implementing features extraction through VGG-16 network and Restnet-50 network and subsequently fine-tuning these models by adding fully connected layers
  • Churn Prediction and Insights
  • Prediction of user uninstallation based on features based on user's activity, usage pattern, app crash, phone storage
  • Used random forest classifier to train model for the purpose of this classification

  • Text Analysis:
  • POC of chatbot based on sentence paraphrasing (influenced from Kaggle quora-question-pairs approach), using contemporary approaches based on RNN and manual features extraction followed by training a classifier on these features.
  • Implemented Naive Bayes to classify messages (SMSs) between commercial and non-commercial. Extraction of NER from commercial SMS data to extract information such as name, place, merchant name. Further trained classification model on names (name, place, merchant) using Maximum Entropy classifier (Maxent)
  • Creating module for users competing apps information and usage comparison
  • Module creation for extracting users' interest faced on usage and apps installation history
  • Automation of demo account for encompassing every information to be shown on an apps dashboard
  • Data scrapping through web time and again using beautiful soup module in python
  • Monitoring scripts for data sanity
  • Elementary Knowledge:
  • Mongo query optimization for faster update and data fetching in related projects
  • Implementation of lambda function in node.js
  • Mongo storage architecture optimization for swift updates on dashboard
  • Data pipe line creation using lambda architecture for batch and stream analysis of data. Worked on streaming data analysis using Apache Storm
