My summer job was focused on helping students develop familiarity with computer science concepts. For example, they explore topics such as algorithms, sequential control flow, and Boolean operators. Students also survey basic principles of physics and mechanical engineering, such as simple machines and locomotion, and basic principles of electrical engineering, such as circuits and sensor feedback. 

Passed on the concepts of Energy Conservation and using gears and wheels to accumulate enough energy to rotate a motor and light a LED. Using LEGO® robotics equipment, the students work together to construct, program, and test their robots in a modern programming environment using Lejos library for Java.

Graduate Teaching Assistant

Working under Dr. Philbeck, I developed a psychometric two-alternative forced choice test using React.js. I cloned the Quest module which is a part of PsychToolBox package in MATLAB, into JS. The module is responsible to create sine wave gratings for determining the correlation between light perception by human vision and surface area. For the Quest code, I implemented the Weibull function and applied Bayesian statistics. 

I used React.js for developing the test environment and used react-router, react slick and few other libraries. The test is made progressive, which changes the difficulty of the question based on user response. The test was successfully deployed on AWS and Amazon Mechanical Turk.

Our goal for Fashion MNIST dataset was to benchmark the accuracies of the various Machine Learning Algorithms and compare how they perform between themselves. We tried a total of 15 Machine Learning Algorithms including hyperparameter tuning. 

There are various attempts of exploiting deep learning algorithms for the Fashion MNIST Dataset. More layers we have, more clear the representation is, more hard to train the model.

We used the Code Switching shared task data extracted from Twitter. The texts were tweets from 5 different authors (classes) each short sentence was associated with the corresponding author. Our training data file consisted of 6818 different tweets from these authors. Our goal from training the IBM Bluemix using the data was to create an accuracy measure to compare against when our Arabic NLP-Classifier was ready.
