== Graduate Projects
==== MTECH PROJECT
- *Application of sparsity and metric learning based methods in classification problems *
\n *Advisor* : Prof. [https://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/~sc/ Subhasis Chaudhuri], IIT Bombay
\n \[[projects/143070026_thesis.pdf Thesis]\]
-- Analyzed the performance of existing sparsity-based algorithms in various classification problems.
-- A novel hierarchical scheme of image classification was proposed which involved organization of the image categories using a self tuning variant of spectral clustering followed by application of large margin nearest neighbor algorithm on each non-leaf node of the tree. The same tree structure was utilized in a joint classifier and dictionary learning framework where the pre-processing of the data was done using kernel based methods.
-- Effectiveness of the algorithms were tested on the standard *Imagenet* dataset and compared with the state of the art algorithms.


==== MTECH SEMINAR
- *Analysis of Google Page Rank Algorithm *
\n *Advisor* : Prof. [https://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/~debasattam/ Debasattam Pal], IIT Bombay
\n \[[projects/report_seminar_digbalay.pdf Report]\]
-- The *pagerank algorithm* as a graph problem (*Hyperlink Model*)was studied in detail,with specific emphasis on the principle of assigning  scores for determining the importance of web pages.
-- A brief insight into the *pagerank algorithm* was obtained followed by analysis using *Perron Frobenius* theorem of irreducible matrices and *Banach fixed point theorem* for contraction mapping.
