Featured Projects
Child Emotion Prediction System
Developed an AI-powered web application that analyzes children’s drawings to predict emotional states such as happiness, calmness, anxiety, or sadness. The system uses deep learning for image-based emotion classification and provides results through an interactive Streamlit dashboard for teachers.
Dementia Prediction System
Developed a machine learning web application to predict dementia risk using clinical and cognitive indicators. The system includes data preprocessing, model training with Random Forest, SHAP-based explainability, and a Streamlit interface for real-time predictions.
Customer Churn Prediction System
Built a machine learning model to predict telecom customer churn using a Decision Tree and Neural Network. Performed data preprocessing, feature engineering, and evaluated models using standard ML metrics.
