Projects: |
Machine Learning
General interests are in time-series data, hidden Markov models, Linear Dynamical Systems, semi-parametric learning, graphical models,
support vector machines and other kernel based methods, text classification and information retrieval.
Intrusion Detection Systems and Network Security
Web-layer code-injection detection, shellcode polymorphism techniques, stack/heap overflow attacks, network behavior profiling using
hidden Markov models. Developed techniques to quantify strengths of polymorphic
engines. Automatic Target Recognition
Developed vehicle detection and tracking
system for forward looking infrared (FLIR) video
based on correlation filtering, SVMs and Spectral
clustering. Operating Systems
Designed and implemented my own scheduler,
paging system, access control list for the file
system and my own firewall.
Programming
Language
Member of of a team of five students that designed the
Ninja Card Language (NCL) for programming card
games, developed fully working
compiler. 2D/3D Image Processing/Video
processing & Computer Vision
Graph cut based image segmentation techniques.
Features tracking across video frames.
