is unavailable. Explore the data and try to find trends/patterns in it. Take the help of
visualisations wherever required.

 Projects for 3rd Year:
1. Neural Style Transfer
Description:​ Essentially re-creating the Prisma app! The user inputs an image (eg, a
selfie) and selects a filter (eg, a sample Van Gogh painting), the final output seems like your
painting is painted by Van Gogh himself. Go through 1-2 research papers on the topic, and add
flexibility such as adjusting the 'percentage' of the filter applied, etc. Also try to implement
additional features which will make your work stand apart.

(signature, photograph, fingerprint etc) against a biometric profile that already exists in the
database linked to that person’s file in order to find a match. Go through 1-2 research papers on
the topic. The project can be extended to an identification system (find the difference between
the two!)
Tech Stack:​ Language: Python; Libraries: Keras, TensorFlow, Matplotlib, pandas,
numpy, sklearn, any other;

3. Comparison of Different CNN Transfer Learning Architectures

Description:​ Pick a medium sized classification dataset. Train different CNN
architectures (VGGNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet, SENet etc) and compare them on accuracy or
other metrics. You could use pre-trained weights wherever applicable. Try to implement the
training on a cloud platform, and use TensorBoard to see interactive training results and better
understand the architectures. You are also expected to have a basic understanding of the used
architectures.
Tech Stack:​ Language: Python; Libraries: Keras, TensorFlow, Matplotlib, pandas,
numpy, sklearn, any other;

paradigm. External libraries can be used for graphics, login etc.
Tech Stack:​ C++;

Project for 3rd Year:​ Eye gaze estimation based recommendation system
Description: ​Standard recommendation systems often work on the basis of user interest
visible through click rate, explicit ratings etc. But online content that holds a users interest can
be easily identified based on their eye gaze i.e for how long that element, for eg. an
advertisement, held their interest. This information can be used as feedback for further
recommendations. This project shall thus involve three parts: Developing a real time eye gaze
estimator, creating a recommendation system and fine tuning it for such implicit feedback,
combining these modules using a seamless application.
If time permits, we can explore deployment too.
Tech Stack:​ Languages and libraries usable (choose the ones suitable and necessary):
Python, C++, OpenCV, sklearn, Tensorflow, PyTorch, Keras, Flask, PyQt;
