Projects

My Life as a Movie - A Pictorial AI Journal(2023) - My Life as a Movie is a Pictorial AI journal that allows users to create an account and use the portal for journal entries. The journal entries remain completely secure and individual to the users. After a journal-entry, the system is able to asynchronously and serverlessly analyze the journal entry, summarize it effectively, and generate an applicable image for the entry. The journal allows the user to come back at any time and visually analyze how their past few days have been. The system utilizes a fine-tuned and prompt engineered Flan-T5 model for text-summarization and the Dall E-2 diffusion model hosted on a serverless AWS Sagemaker Inference Container for image-generation. This full-stack application utilizes a personal mysql server and S3 bucket for backend data-storage. The portal can be found here: https://anupamguptacalcom.ipage.com/JournalAI/login.html
Technologies Used :
- • Text-Summarization
- • Diffusion Models

In-Situ Edge Intelligence Enabled Waste Segregation System (2021) - The In-situ Waste Segregation System aims at performing real-time separation of waste before items are accumulated. This project aimed at combining the constraints of real-time separation with image-processing and using low-latency-promising light CNN inferential models to identify and classify objects while they are in-transit. In addition, a model delivery mechanism and multiple sensor and software models were experimented with to achieve accuracies of upto 60% and inferential latencies as low as 10 ms in a resource constrained ESP32 chip.

IIT KGP Computer Science Semester-wise Course Scheduler (2021) - IIT KGP offers Semester Wide Schedules through a PDF file, as such, it can be really tough to find optional subjects that match with the current class schedule. To get around this, the Course Scheduler offers an easy to use-interface that is pre-loaded with each semester’s schedule. The Course Scheduler allows the user to test different class combinations and ascertain if the combinations work easily and if so, they can easily view a week-wide class graphic schedule for the semester. The Course Scheduler is being reviewed by IIT KGP authorities for final integration into the campus-wide student-facing portal. The scheduler can be found here: http://anupamguptacalcom.ipage.com/Course_Scheduler/index.html

Nurse Watch (2018) - Nurse Watch is a prototype design that allows nurses in care-taking homes to coordinate with each other and maintain lists of duties for each patient. The simple-to-use user interface makes it easy for nurses, caring for multiple patients, to easily keep track of medical needs and duties/checklists for each patient. In addition, the prototype design and software also allow multiple nurses working in the same hospital to co-ordinate and respond to emergencies, if and when it arises. Nurse Watch is also helpful for maintaining accountability across multiple medical employees in an institution.A detailed report for this project can be found here: here

SafePath (DubHacks 2017 Project) - Safe Path is a Facebook Messenger Bot that is capable of providing the safest path between the user’s location and any location specified by the user based on real time crime data statistics. The Bot is also capable of guiding the user through the safest path once they’ve decided which of the multiple shown paths they want to take. The easy to use Messenger interface also provides them with the option to navigate using the Google Maps application as well. The Bot interfaces with a front-end Messenger API as well as a back-end service that uses real time crime data to come up with a path between the destination and the user’s location that is currently the safest. The project was very well received and judged as the second-best hack during this hackathon.
