SyntaViz

It is one of the works I did during my research internship in the Comcast Applied AI Research Lab. While working with the voice queries made through the Xfinity X1 remote control, I realized that it is easier to fathom the types of queries made by the users if we arrange them into a Syntax-Driven ontology. SyntaViz is a visualization interface implemented on that idea.

Awe the Audience

We reveal a secret to outstanding performance in public speaking through analysis of over 2000 TED Talks. Our analysis shows for positive ratings, it is important to make changes in emotions throughout the storyline. These “narrative trajectories” are capable to influence the perception of the audience by inducing various emotional experience for the audience. We can objectively measure these narrative trajectories and as a result, we can predict the public speaking performance automatically.

Rhema

A Google Glass based solution to provide live feedback to the speaker regarding their public speaking performance. We utilized the state of the art knowledge to minimize the distraction level while designing the feedback scheme.

Project Report
iVISA This is a contribution to the field of “Interactive Machine Learning” before the field even existed (I implemented it in 2010). The goal of the system is to annotate the landmark points on a picture of a human face in a semi-automatic fashion. The system automatically predicts the landmark points and the user adjusts them. This gradually improves the prediction model. The system uses Active Shape Model (ASM) for prediction of landmark points.

Old Visual Basic Programs

Drama by MS Agents [Just for Fun] It is a small program to parse a customized drama script and animate the characters according to the script. It can show some limited animations based on the characters. I made this program back in 2002 using Microsoft Agents Discontinued from Windows 7 [Update: The date in the post has been reset to 2015 after a massive data crash in planet source code] Planet-source-code Link
Fourier Plotter In my sophomore years, I became so enthusiastic on the nature and properties of Fourier Series that I started coding this software to check whether actually the sine and cosine terms can constitute any periodic function. Planet-Source-Code Link Setup for Windows
Equation Plotter I have forgotten actually when I started making this program. At that time I didn’t have any tool for plotting equations. So I started creating one from scratch. Setup for Windows
