Sample Projects
Python / Natural Language Processing / Machine Learning
Resume Parser
Finding qualified applicants for an open position can be challenging, particularly when a large number of applicants from various backgrounds apply for the position. This project focuses on finding the similarity between the job description and resume and it outputs the best suitable job title along with the probability for each of the resumes. This method also helps recruiters when the candidate applies for multiple roles within the company by simply looking at the percentages, they can determine which role the candidate’s resume best fits.We fitted the random forest classifier to the resume dataset to predict which category the resume belongs to and compared it to the actual category column.Additionally, we created a working system, where a job description and resume are uploaded,the system calculates the probability to which they match and finds top three categories that best suits the resume.
Python / Deep Learning / fastai
Flower Color Detector using Deep Learning
Implemented a Flower Color Detector using fastai, a deep learning library. Built a computer vision model after performing data augmentation. Data augmentation refers to synthetically generating variation to input images. Thus model was trained and deployed to detect the color of the flower whenever a new input is observed.
