Research Assistant, 2007 - August 2011,
Computational Science & Intelligence Lab, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.
- Worked on Landmine Detection using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Wide-band Electro-magnetic Induction (WEMI) data.
- Implemented a fusion algorithm of GPR and WEMI confidence values using Hierarchical Mixture of Experts that significantly increased the classification rates while providing insightful results.
- Implemented the Variational Mixture of Experts algorithm for multi-class classification and derived a lower bound for it to prevent over-training.
- Developed a context-based classification model for time-series sequences.
- Developed a novel model based on multiple instance learning for the context-based classification of time-series data with ambiguous features.
- Developed models for explosive detection from hyper-spectral data for the Hummel lab.
