Sentiment Analyzer

Uses Python's Gensim Word2Vec library to map all the words in a tweet as a vector. It analyzes the vectors using a three-layer deep neural net; the net is constructed with TensorFlow in order to detect if the tweet is positive or negative.

Advances in Keystroke Dynamics: 2005-2016

I wrote a research paper that contained a survey of all the techniques used in keystroke analysis for user authentication. It was published in IEEE | IndiaComm Conf 2016.

Classifier Dependent Dimensionality Reduction for Resource Restricted Environments

I wrote a research paper that examined the use of a neural network and GA to reduce the dimensionality of a large dataset according to the needs of the classifier. It was published in Springer | Redset Conf 2017.

Kafka End-to-End Encrypted Chat

https://github.com/kalradivyanshu/kafkaEncryptedChat
This is an end-to-end encrypted, scalable chat app written in Python using TkInter. The back-end used Apache Kafka.

Home Automation

I built an Android app which allows the user to control devices in his house. The user can use voice control via natural language processing (Wit.ai API). The central server was written in Flask for Python 3.5. Raspberry PI and Arduino were used to control the electronic devices.

Color Detect

https://github.com/kalradivyanshu/ColorDetect2
A program that uses OpenCV to detect the color of the object in front of the camera and then sends the signal to Arduino which recreates that color on an RGB LED screen.

Remote Play

https://github.com/kalradivyanshu/RemotePlay
A software that runs on Raspberry Pi and can convert any speaker/headphones into a wireless speaker/headphones. It uses PHP and Python 3 to fetch and play the song.
