Projects

1. Link Prediction in Ego Networks using Naïve Bayes

Platform and Skills: R, Excel, RStudio, Python, Canopy, Notepad++.Packages: e1071, ROCR, XLConnect, networkX.Algorithms: Naïve Bayes.Performance Testing: ROC Curve, Precision, Recall, k-fold cross validation.

Brief: Data set contains the connectivity information of users in online social networks. We have to predict the future possible connection among users on the basis of its current connectivity information. We treated the link prediction problem considering it as a binary classification problem and applied Naïve Bayes machine learning technique in order to predict links in ego networks.

Major Task involve in the project were:• Defining the problem statements.• Collection of data.• Pre-processing of data.• Extraction of common users and common features between already connected and disconnected users.• Applied machine learning Naïve Bayes technique for predicting missing links in ego networks.• Validation of result through k-fold cross validation and ROC curve.• Plotting the output as ROC curve.• Final out put in a csv file and report in pdf file.

2. Analysis of Link Prediction and Impact of Structural Properties of Networks

Platform and Skills: R, Excel, RStudio, Python, Anaconda, NodeXL, Notepad++.Packages: XLConnect, networkX.Algorithms: Correlation, Jaccard Index, Cosine Similarity, Adamic-Adar Index, RA, HPA, HDA.Performance Analysis: Correlation, Precision, Recall, PPV (Positive Predicted Values).

Brief: Variety of network data sets is collected from different sources. We have to analyses the impact of structural properties over node neighborhood based (similarity score based) link prediction techniques.

Major Task involve in the project were:• Defining the problem statements.• Collection of data.• Pre-processing of data.• Extraction of common users connected and disconnected users.• Develop a model to analyze the performance of link prediction techniques.• Develop a model to check the different structural properties of the networks.• Validating the model by applying correlation.• Plotting the output as line graph.• Final out put in a csv file and report in pdf file.

3. Prediction of Future Links in Online Social Networks

Platform and Skills: Python, Anaconda, Excel, Notepad++.Packages: networkx, scikit-learn, NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib.Algorithms: Jaccard Coefficient, Cosine Similarity, Adamic Adar Index, Resource Allocation Index.Performance Testing: TPR, FPR, Precision, Recall, F measure.

Brief: Data set contains the connectivity information of users in online social networks. We have to predict the future possible connection among users on the basis of its current connectivity information.

Major Task involve in the project were:• Defining the problem statements.• Collection of data.• Pre-processing of data.• Extraction of common users between already connected and disconnected users.• Develop a model for calculating the similarity score between each individual.• Develop a model to calculate the threshold in order to predict the links.• Plotting the output.• Final out put in a csv file.

4. Twitter Sentiment Analysis

Platform and Skills: R, Excel, RStudio, Notepad++Packages: twitteR, stringr, ggplot2, plyrPerformance Testing: Precision, Recall, F Measure

Brief: Streaming live data from twitter with particular #tag and @mention using twitteR package in R. Pre-processing and analysis of the data on scale of Negative, Neutral and Positive.

Major Task involve in the project were:• Defining the problem statements.• Streaming live twitter data with #tag and @mention. • Data cleansing.• Apply text mining to obtain relevant problem associate them with their actionable insights.

• Dictionary creation of negative and positive words.• Develop a model for calculating the polarity of each row in data frame.• Function to calculate the sentiments on scale of Negative, Neutral and Positive.• Plotting the output.• Final out put in a text file containing graphs and reports. 

5. Text mining and Sentiment Analysis

Platform and Skills: R, Excel, RStudio, Notepad++.Packages: Rcurl, wordcloud, tm, NLP, plyr, stringr, ggplot2, SnowballC.Performance Analysis: Wordcloud, Term Frequency, Association.

Brief: Data file contains first speech of the chief minister of Delhi Mr. Arvind Kejriwal in text format. We have to analyze the speech by applying text mining over the collected data.

Major Task involve in the project were:• Defining the problem statements.• Collection of data.• Data cleansing.• Text transformation and mapping.• Text stemming.• Develop a model for calculating the term document matrix.• Function to plot the word cloud and association between words.• Plotting the output as a word cloud.• Final out put in a text file containing word cloud graphs and reports.

6. Web Scraper and Crawler

Platform and Skills: Python, Canopy, R, RStudio, Excel, Notepad++.Packages: BeautifulSoup, requests, csv, twitter, RSQLite, rvest, XML, plyr, stringr.Number of Websites: 9 including twitter.

Brief: Our task is to collect the data from different websites for analysis purpose. Data changes periodically on the selected websites and we have to collect the data from those sites for different time intervals.

Major Task involve in the project were:• Analysis of web and structure of the data.• Writing python and R scripts to crawl and scrape the data from different websites.• Pre-processing of data.• Store the final processed data into csv, text, Excel and sql files.
