US-Election2016-Analysis 23 Jan 2017 - 16 May 2017
A personal project to analyze county results of 2016 US
Election with various demographic features like population
density, age, education and etc. Linear Regression, fully
connected neural network layers and subset regression were
used to analyze and find patterns.

Algo-Analysis 8 Dec 2016 - 14 Dec 2016
A project to help students, learning AI algorithms, to visually see how various AI algorithms work. Implemented a graphical interface in Java, which lets user build a map (of any size with obstacles, start position and goal position) and select an algorithm (A*, Hill-Climbing, BFS & DFS). System then visually show user how algorithm explores the map to reach the goal.
