Experience

  • SparklingGraph
    http://sparkling.ml

    Using SparklingGraph, you can do fast computations on your graph data. You can utilize the computational power of multiple nodes but also compute on your own laptop thanks to the power of Apache Spark. SparklingGraph provides many graph measures but also gives you the ability to easily load graphs from many common formats like CSV, GML, and more.

  • Sentinent Analysis for Polish Language using SVM and BoW
    https://github.com/riomus/polish-sentiment

    A self-containing project that enables users to classify texts in terms of sentiment. Using a provided docker image, you can easily use state-of-the-art NLP methods for the Polish language and achieve cutting-edge results in sentiment analysis tasks. The provided API classifies the text in terms of two sentiment classes: positive and negative.

  • HMM.js
    https://github.com/riomus/HMM.js

    These are Hidden Markov models implemented in JavaScript with Viterbi algorithms for learning. The library gives you the ability to create and train Hidden Markov Models, that can be used in many tasks like sequence classification, NLP, and more. By using low-level JavaScript primitives, the library achieves low classification and training times.

  • Gesture Recognition
    https://github.com/riomus/GestureRecognition

    This is a program for gesture recognition for JavaScript using Hidden Markov Models. The project utilizes HMM.js and OpticalFlow.js in order to classify user gestures captured using a webcam. Using that library, you can create games that utilize gestures as a controller.

  • Vibe.js
    https://github.com/riomus/vibe.js

    A ViBE background subtraction algorithm implemented in JavaScript (with performance optimizations). The library utilizes low-level JavaScript primitives in order to utilize low processing times for each video frame. Using this library, you can create projects that can easily detect non-backgrounds on webcam video streams (or other video sources).

  • OpticalFlow.js
    https://github.com/riomus/OpticalFlow.js

    An optical flow that was implemented in JavaScript. The library implements optical flow based movement detection in video streams. It can be utilized to detect movements and then processes it in order to detect gestures. Using this library, you can detect the direction of the movement on each pixel between two video frames.
