Research Scholar

Pondicherry Engineering College
01.2016 - 01.2021

- Neural Network: Built and trained customized Convolutional Neural Network and its variants like LeNet, ResNet and GoogleNet to recognize objects in images.
- Enhanced Backpropagation Technique: Experimented with different optimizers and enhanced the Backpropagation Technique.
- Fine - Tuned hyperparameters: Fine-tuned Hyperparameters like Learning Rate, Number of neurons in each layer and improvised the performance of network.

- Learning Rate Scheduling Policy: Developed a new scheduling policy to optimally initialize the learning rate and decay gradually, which reduces the training time of the neural network.

- Multi-Label Image Classification: Developed a new technique to classify every input into multiple labels instead of classifying into a single label
