PSP-HDRI+: A Synthetic Dataset Generator for Pre-Training of Human-Centric Computer Vision Models
ICML 2022 - First Workshop on Pre-training: Perspectives, Pitfalls, and Paths Forward
See publicationCo-authored research on synthetic data generation for human-centric computer vision published at ICML 2022.
Key Contributions:
• Developed PeopleSansPeople, a synthetic data generator for human pose estimation and segmentation
• Achieved 60.37 keypoint AP on COCO test-dev2017, outperforming ImageNet pre-training (57.50 AP) and training from scratch (55.80 AP)

• Demonstrated that synthetic data pre-training improves few-shot transfer learning by +38% keypoint AP on limited real-world data
• Open-sourced project with 28 parameterized 3D human assets, 39 animation clips, and 21,952+ unique clothing textures
• Generated >3M training instances for privacy-preserving computer vision model development
Impact: This research enables data-efficient training for CV models in privacy-sensitive applications where real-world data is scarce or expensive.

Avito Demand Prediction Challenge
-
See projectWhen selling used goods online, a combination of tiny, nuanced details in a product description can make a big difference in drumming up interest.
The target variable is the likelihood that an ad actually sold something. It's not possible to verify every transaction with certainty, so this column's value can be any float from zero to one.

- Analyzed user product’s data and extracted features from text and image to build a model to predict demand of used product. Implemented various models such as LGB, Inception net, ResNet, VGG. The best model was stacking of all three models, gave the RMSE value 0.2237 -

Data Source: https://www.kaggle.com/shivinder/googlestockpricing/kernels
Implemented ARIMA to predict the stock price for the next day with the RMSE value of 44.5 which is further improved by 3 layers RNN LSTM on sliding window of 60 days to RMSE of 14.8.
Below are the other models and RMSE value which we have tried:
1. ARIMA(0,1,0): 123
2. Prophet: 87
3. Two layers RNN GRU on Sliding window of 60: 68.2

See projectThis dataset contains an anonymized set of variables(400+ columns), each representing a custom feature in a Mercedes car. For example, a variable could be 4WD, added air suspension, or a head-up display.
The ground truth is labeled ‘y’ and represents the time (in seconds) that the car took to pass testing for each variable.
Data: https://www.kaggle.com/c/mercedes-benz-greener-manufacturing/kernels
- Extracted the important features out of 400 features.
- Reduced the dimension…This dataset contains an anonymized set of variables(400+ columns), each representing a custom feature in a Mercedes car. For example, a variable could be 4WD, added air suspension, or a head-up display.
