RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
NLP Driven Political Analysis of Subreddits [December 2022]
Machine learning has aided in the development of incredibly efficient solutions to today's complexities. It has virtually pervaded every field, and its potent solutions have substantially assisted humanity's growth. In this research, our prime objective is not to make the right predictions but to probe the different ways of applying the concepts of machine learning. We aim to comprehend the inner working of the models that aid in decision-making. Further, to meet the objectives of this research, we had to analyze a large text corpus. We implemented a fusion of algorithms with high interpretability to derive meaningful information from the data. To this end, we investigated approaches to extracting information from political subreddits using embedding-based sentiment analysis and feature analysis of a classification model.

Predicting malicious activity in Android using Machine Learning [May 2022]
The extent to which malware camouflages has begged the attention of a wide range of researchers all over the world to direct their attention to developing effective detection methods for the same. Current antiviral techniques, which are hash-based and heuristic-driven, do not appear to handle the problem efficiently or effectively. The remarkable success of machine learning in tackling this challenge has increased its usage in developing these detection systems. In this paper, we examine such approaches in order to assess the accuracy of ML-based methods, particularly in a supervised learning scenario, and to provide the reader with a systematization of knowledge on the current state of the field. In this paper, three different methods were proposed based on machine learning models to detect malicious programs, and we evaluated them to show their efficacy and efficiency.
