Dog Breed Quiz:
Can you beat an AI?

Dog Breed Quiz Web Application Using VGG16 Neural Network

Jeddahlyn Gacera

I created a Dog Breed Quiz web app where you compete with an AI that uses VGG16 convolutional neural network in determining the breed of a dog. The project was developed in Flask, using only 2 HTML files, 2 CSS, and 2 JS files.

LABOR:
Learning and Building on Reviews (HR Analytics)

Hybrid NLP Models for Sentiment Prediction

In this project, we created an algorithm predicting employee sentiment using hybrid of NLP (topic modelling and word embedding) and neural networks based on Philippine-based employee review text data scraped from Glassdoor.com. With the models we've developed, we are able to give insights on what pushed these ratings and provide organizations a new way of better understanding their employees.

Reddit, Set, Go: Deciphering What Redditors Are Really Looking For

Frequent Itemset Mining (FIM) and Association Rule Mining (ARM) Analysis on Big Data

Our team conducted an analysis on the posts from the Philippine-based subreddit r/phr4r to paint a clearer picture of the dating and hook-up culture in the Philippines. Frequent Itemset Mining (FIM) and Association Rule Mining (ARM) was employed to extract the most frequently occurring verbs, adjectives, and nouns from individual posts. Data points were identified according to gender, age, and sexual orientation due to the consistent topic name formatting imposed in the subreddit.

MABUHAY ANG OPM: Creating Filipino Songs Using LSTM

Text Generation Using Recurrent Neural Networks

Jeddahlyn Gacera

One of the great things I've realized through our MSDS journey is not only the ability to ask the right questions and maximize the business value of the problems we solve, but also the ability to incorporate our learnings to our hobbies and passion. For this study, I aim to apply the learnings from our Machine Learning 2.0 class to one of my passions, music, by generating OPM lyrics using one type of recurrent neural network—LSTM.

This study aims to explore a new way to quantify the strength of political strongholds and use eigenvector and betweenness centrality measures of bipartite politician-city network graphs of Ilocos and NCR to determine the most influential figures in an area of political jurisdiction for potential alliance formation.
